Montanae Antoinette La’Meque Shantell Davis was a 26-year-old mother of two from Dayton, Ohio. In the early morning of April 3, 2024, she placed a 911 call saying her ex-boyfriend, Jamartay Brown, was threatening to shoot up her house. At about 2:49 a.m. police were dispatched to her home in the 700 block of Torrington Place after reports of a shooting.

Investigators say Brown forced his way into the residence, a fight occurred, and Davis was shot and beaten. Her children, ages one and four, were in the home and were not physically injured. Officers and medics found Davis in the kitchen with multiple gunshot wounds to her chest and face; she was taken to a hospital and died during surgery. Police arrested Jamartay L. Brown later that day and a grand jury subsequently returned multiple charges including aggravated murder and felonious assault.

If anyone has information about what happened at the Torrington Place residence in the early hours of April 3, 2024, please come forward.
