On February 22, 2023, at about midnight, Dayton police responded to a shooting in the 1900 block of Shaftesbury Road and found 35-year-old Lafeon Quintez Hamilton with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities say Hamilton and the suspect were acquainted, indicating the attack was not random.

Officers identified 33-year-old Terrill Jerome Nelson as the suspect and say he fled in a stolen 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. Automated License Plate Readers tracked the vehicle; when officers tried to stop Nelson he led them on a high-speed pursuit reportedly reaching about 100 mph. Police used tire deflation devices and a Precision Immobilization Technique to stop the vehicle and took Nelson into custody.

Nelson was indicted on multiple counts including two counts each of murder and felonious assault, one count of grand theft (motor vehicle), and two counts of failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer. The murder and felonious assault counts carry three-year firearm specifications. He is being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $1 million bond.
