Medics took a 35-year-old man to the hospital in critical condition.
Christine Hedrick lives near the gas station and said she called 911.
“I hear bang, bang, bang, bang,” Hedrick said. “While I was on the phone with 911, I heard bang, bang, bang again. And it scared me because I thought it was coming from here.”
As police arrived on scene, Hedrick realized the shooting had happened about a half-block away at the gas station.
News Center 7’s Mike Campbell went back to the gas station on Wednesday.
The employees didn’t want to speak on-camera, but they said one man was inside and another was outside when they began shooting at each other.
The man moved outside, and the shooting continued.
“Whatever feud is happening between these two individuals, it’s enough that they’re going to do it in broad daylight with an active street right in front of them,” Dayton Police Lieutenant David Matthews said.
As previously reported by News Center 7, police said they tracked two people to a home about a block away and detained them.
On Wednesday, officers said they arrested a 25-year-old man, but the other was a witness.
Montgomery County Jail records show 25-year-old Tahseti Lamar-Harris was booked on Tuesday for suspicion of felonious assault.
The records also show that Dayton police arrested him at the same house that police tracked the suspect to.
“It’s still scary, like they ran right here, they caught him, like a couple of the guys they caught, like right here. Two houses down from me in the alley, so very scary,” Hedrick said.
Dayton police said there was an argument before the shooting happened, but they couldn’t share what the argument was about.
News Center 7 will continue to follow this story.
