Tanner Staggs, 22, was shot and killed while working a landscaping job in Dayton on the morning of September 18, 2025. The shooting happened about 11:15–11:20 a.m. on Indiana Avenue near Wyoming Street after witnesses and court records say an argument began when grass and mud from the crew’s work landed on a nearby vehicle. The confrontation escalated and Staggs was struck by multiple rounds; he was taken to Miami Valley Hospital and later died of his injuries.

Investigators say a 36-year-old neighbor came out of his home, moved into the roadway during the dispute, and opened fire. Police recovered 9 mm shell casings from the street and a Glock 43X from inside the suspect’s residence. Dayton police arrested Travis D. Jackson, 36, later the same day; court records cited by local reporters say Jackson admitted to the shooting and directed officers to the firearm. He was booked and charged with two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault, and one count of discharging a firearm on or near prohibited premises.

Staggs’s employer and obituary pages identified him and mourned the loss, describing him as a young man with so much life ahead of him. Does anyone who knew Tanner or who witnessed the incident have information that could help investigators?
