Police were dispatched to the 1700 block of West Stewart Street on the morning of May 18 after receiving reports of a shooting.
NewsCenter 7 previously reported that during the police investigation, homicide detectives led officers to an apartment on West Stewart Street where the shooter is suspected to be.
Officers attempted to contact the people inside the unit but got no response, then called Dayton SWAT and the department’s hostage negotiation team.

More than six hours later, Trigg was found not to be in the apartment. He was later arrested on May 25 on Redwood Avenue.
Police previously told NewsCenter 7 that Trigg and Taylor were believed to have been involved in an argument several weeks before the shooting.
Trigg was released from prison in September 2021 after serving a nine-month sentence for improper handling of a firearm and possession of weapons in a motor vehicle, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutors Office.
