Matyka Brown, 34, was shot and killed in her Dayton, Ohio, home on Millicent Avenue on February 10, 2025, around 2:20 a.m. Her two daughters, 9 and 14, escaped and ran to a neighbor who called 911. Authorities say the suspect was her former boyfriend, 32-year-old Tony Eugene Jackson Jr., who allegedly broke in through a window, waited inside, and confronted Brown and the children with a firearm before shooting Brown multiple times.

Jackson had a prior 2020 conviction for aggravated robbery and kidnapping and was released on parole in August 2024. In October 2024 he was arrested for allegedly strangling Brown, but a grand jury declined to indict. Following the February shooting he was arrested and charged with aggravated murder, murder, aggravated burglary, felonious assault, tampering with evidence, and having weapons while under disability; he pleaded not guilty and is being held on $3 million bond. Brown’s funeral was held February 21, 2025.

Does anyone in the Dayton area have information about Brown, her daughters, or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
