Dayton, Ohio – Authorities in Montgomery County have moved forward with serious criminal charges against a woman accused of firing multiple gunshots into a home in Harrison Township after deputies uncovered evidence tied to threats made before the incident.
The investigation began on April 26, 2026, when deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of gunfire at a residence along Forest Park Drive in Harrison Township. When law enforcement officers arrived at the scene, they discovered significant damage around the property. Investigators located numerous bullet holes in the home and also recovered spent projectiles from behind the residence, pointing to what authorities described as a dangerous and targeted shooting.
According to investigators, detectives later connected the incident to Tamara Fuller after uncovering information about earlier threats involving people associated with the home. The discovery pushed the investigation further, leading detectives to seek and execute search warrants tied to Fuller.
During those searches, investigators recovered both a firearm and ammunition that became part of the growing case against her. Authorities did not release additional details about the nature of the threats or explain whether anyone was injured during the shooting, but the findings were enough to present the case before a grand jury.
Grand Jury Returns Serious Charges
On May 6, 2026, the Montgomery County Grand Jury formally indicted Tamara Fuller on several charges connected to the incident.
The charges include Menacing by Stalking, a fourth-degree felony, along with a 3-Year Firearm Specification. Fuller was also indicted on a misdemeanor count of Aggravated Menacing.
The most severe accusation filed against her is Improperly Discharging a Firearm at or Into a Habitation, a second-degree felony that also carries a 3-Year Firearm Specification. That charge is commonly used in cases where investigators believe someone knowingly fired into an occupied home or residence, creating an extreme danger to the people inside.
The firearm specifications attached to the felony charges could significantly increase the amount of prison time Fuller faces if convicted. Under Ohio law, firearm specifications often require mandatory prison sentences that must be served in addition to penalties connected to the underlying felony offenses.
The case has drawn attention because of the serious risk posed by gunfire directed toward a residence. Investigators emphasized through the charges that the shooting could have easily ended in tragedy had anyone inside the home been struck by the bullets.
Officials have not yet released additional information about a possible motive behind the shooting or whether Fuller knew the people connected to the residence personally. Court proceedings are expected to continue in Montgomery County as prosecutors move forward with the case.
