On April 6, 2024, Larod Allen Delong, an 18-year-old from Dayton, Ohio, was shot and killed around 6 a.m. in the 2400 block of Auburn Avenue. Police found Delong lying in the street and he was pronounced dead at the scene; the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office later confirmed his identity.

Authorities say a 37-year-old man, Isaiah DeAnthony Wood, fired more than 40 rounds from his residence after noticing two people trying to break into his car. Doorbell camera footage reportedly shows Wood leaving his home armed; one bullet struck Delong in the back of the head as he attempted to flee. Wood was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including murder, and held on $1 million bail. Four firearms were found at Wood’s home, including one altered and believed to be used in the shooting.
