Leslie Ross, 52, was found fatally shot inside a home on Golden Arrow Court in Miamisburg on the night of March 12, 2025. Officers responded to a shooting call about 9:30 p.m.; Ross was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators later determined she had been shot five times.

Police identified 32-year-old Demetrius Turner as a suspect shortly after the shooting. Witness statements say Turner had met Ross within the prior couple of weeks. One person inside the house reported hearing Ross plead don’t do it no before what sounded first like slaps and was later realized to have been gunshots; another resident heard the disturbance while in the basement shower but did not see Ross beforehand.

Turner fled after the shooting, triggering a 13-hour manhunt that used multiple agencies, drones, and K9 units. He was located in West Carrollton around 12:16 p.m. on March 13 after a couple called 911 and was taken into custody without incident; he reported chest pains and was taken to a hospital before being booked. Turner has been charged with two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault, grand theft, tampering with evidence, aggravated possession of drugs and a misdemeanor assault charge, and pleaded not guilty at arraignment. Investigators are still examining the circumstances and any prior interactions between Ross and Turner.
