Stovall and Osterhaus were found shot in the 1600 block of Russet Avenue around 12:50 p.m. on Thursday.

Kevin Leopard said he had a hard time grasping what he was seeing and hearing when he saw a woman go down outside the house.

“Heard boom, boom, boom and she went down,” Leopard said. “Somebody from inside the house, because everything came out from in the house.”

Police and paramedics rushed to the scene to try and help both the man and woman, but they were both pronounced deceased.

Dayton police could not confirm what led up to the deadly shooting when they spoke to News Center 7 on Thursday but said they were not currently looking for any suspects.

“We believe we have everybody at the scene accounted for,” Maj. Jason Hall said.

We’re working to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the shooting and will continue to provide updates.
