A shooting outside the Greater Dayton Recreation Center at 2100 W. Third St. in Dayton, Ohio, on January 12, 2024, left 20-year-old Isaiah Murray dead. The shooting occurred about 12:25 p.m. on the outdoor basketball court; multiple shots were fired and one bullet struck a recreation center window. Murray was pronounced dead at the scene by Montgomery County Coroner Dr. Kent Harshbarger. The incident prompted a lockdown of the recreation center and nearby Roosevelt Elementary School while authorities searched for suspects.

Two 19-year-olds from Clayton have been charged in connection with the death. Kyree G. Whitaker has pleaded guilty to one count of involuntary manslaughter and three counts of aggravated robbery, all with firearm specifications, and agreed to a 15-year prison term plus restitution of $1,400 and documented funeral costs. Court documents allege Whitaker brandished a firearm during a robbery involving three men and conspired with others to set up and carry out the robbery. William Lamont Brown Jr. faces charges of murder and complicity. Was anyone in the area that day able to see or hear more about what happened on the court?
