On April 3, 2007, 52-year-old Dwayne Burg was killed during a violent home invasion at his Harold Street residence in Dayton, Ohio. Three armed men entered the home while several family members were present, including his adult sons Dwayne Burg Jr. and Torrance Burg, along with Brandy Hurston and two family friends. The intruders stole money and fled, and Burg died from wounds sustained in the attack.

Initial attempts to identify the perpetrators were unsuccessful. Two years later Burg Jr. saw a news broadcast about an unrelated crime and recognized Theron Lewis as the man who had shot his father. Burg Jr. and Torrance identified Lewis as the shooter, and Hurston later identified Keith Watson as a participant. Dayton Police conducted photo lineups and the victims made positive identifications, reconfirmed in January 2010. Federal charges were later brought against Lewis and Watson; both entered conditional guilty pleas and were incarcerated. The case prompted multiple legal challenges over the eyewitness identification process.

If anyone knew Dwayne Burg or has information about the April 2007 home invasion, please come forward.
