Dayton Police Department searching for a man in connection with a shooting

Dayton, Ohio – The Dayton Police Department has issued an arrest warrant for a man suspected of shooting another man at the Delphos Carryout on West Third Street last week.

Raphael Piner, a 27-year-old man from Dayton, is being sought in connection with a shooting incident on April 21 for two counts of felonious assault.

Around 10:50 a.m., police arrived at the All in One Marathon gas station at the intersection of West Third Street and James H. McGee Boulevard and found that the man who was shot at the carryout had been taken there by a witness.

According to court records, the man who was shot said that “Piner was jealous over him dating the mother of his child.”

After obtaining footage from the carryout, police were able to determine that the individual who was shot had been punched with a gun twice in the head and face before the incident occurred.

According to authorities, Piner is believed to have left the crime scene in a gray Chevy SUV.
