Harrison Twp. man guilty on all charges in 2023 murder, shooting
A jury Shawn Adrian Jackson Sr., 49, guilty of six counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault, two counts of aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated robbery and one major drug offender count of possession of cocaine. In addition, the court found him guilty of having weapons while under disability.
He is currently in the Montgomery County Jail, and is scheduled to be sentenced July 22.
The charges stem from a shooting late Dec. 6, 2023.
At around 7:45 p.m., police responded to a house in the 700 block of Brooklyn Avenue after a woman called 911 and said she had been shot in the mouth, according to Montgomery County Regional Dispatch Center records.
Police found a man shot in the head, later identified as 35-year-old Dominique Battle, and a woman who had been shot multiple times, according to an affidavit filed in Dayton Municipal Court.
Battle was pronounced dead at the scene, and medics took the woman to Miami Valley Hospital with critical injuries, Dayton police Lt. Steven Bauer said following the shooting.
According to the affidavit, investigators found video showing Jackson walking in and out of the house.
"Phone records confirm that the defendant called the victim multiple times before he arrived and walked in," the affidavit read. "The defendant was arrested after the living victim picked him out as the shooter."
Jackson denied that he was at the house on the night of the shooting, court records showed.

Daughter of man terrorized by "Son of "Sam" visits him in prison
This story was originally posted in Aug. 11, 2017. It was updated on Aug. 2, 2025. Shayna Glassman knows her family does not want her to write and visit with David Berkowitz, the infamous "Son of Sam" serial killer. "My family told me, 'Shayna — don't pursue this,'" she said. And she certainly knows how her deceased father would feel. "A relative told me, 'Your dad would be so mad at you,'" Shayna Glassman said. But more than anything, she is painfully aware that she's Berkowitz' "type." "I would have been his prime target," she told CBS News in 2017. "I'm a young, attractive long-haired female and I'm the daughter of the person he thought was the devil. There's gotta be some deep psychological thing happening between us." Still, none of that stops Shayna Glassman from writing and visiting Berkowitz, an inmate at a maximum security prison in upstate New York. He's been incarcerated for nearly 50 years for shooting and killing six New Yorkers and wounding seven others in a murderous spree that's terrorized the city in 1976 and 1977. "There was something deeper I needed to get," Shayna Glassman explained. "It's my way of being with my father. The one thing he left me was this story." In 1977, Shayna's father, Craig Glassman, lived in apartment 6E at 35 Pine Street in Yonkers. His direct upstairs neighbor was Berkowitz, then a young postal worker. Craig Glassman was a nursing student and a volunteer deputy sheriff with the Westchester County Sheriff's Office. He often wore his police uniform which is why Shayna Glassman believed Berkowitz focused on him and came to hate him. Craig Glassman's full story was told in a 1990 now-out-of-print book titled "Off The Wall." Part of the reason for the title are the writings police found on Berkowitz' apartment walls, some of them referencing "Craig." The "Son of Sam" also mentioned "Craig" in a letter to police when he wrote: "Because Craig is Craig so must the streets be filled with Craig (death)." It was back in the summer of '77 — known locally as the Summer of Sam — when Craig Glassman began to get threatening letters. They were written in script and did not appear similar to the printed letters Berkowitz sent to the police and New York Daily News columnist Jimmy Breslin. "One of them had a drawing of a volcano," Shayna Glassman said. All of the letters were taken by New York City police after Berkowitz was arrested. At the time, Craig Glassman did not know who was sending the letters but he suspected Berkowitz because he often heard his upstairs neighbor pacing and one time received an angry phone call to shut off his television. The most serious incident occurred on Aug. 6, 1977, when someone left a bucket filled with gunpowder and .22 caliber bullets outside Craig Glassman's door and set it on fire. "Dad heard the flames and thought the building was on fire," Shayna Glassman said. "He called out to neighbors who called the fire department." The bullets never exploded but Craig Glassman filed a harassment complaint against Berkowitz and Shayna Glassman said. he told buddies on the force that he thought his crazy upstairs neighbor could be the "Son of Sam." Of course, a lot of people that year felt someone they knew might be the killer; police were inundated with tips and leads. Days later, NYPD detectives appeared at 35 Pine Street and asked a shocked Craig Glassman if he was David Berkowitz. It was the pre-internet, pre-Facebook era. Police had gotten Berkowitz' name and address from a parking ticket at the scene of the last shooting, but had no idea what he looked like. "Dad said, 'I can show you who he is,'" Shayna Glassman recalled. "He was sitting with them waiting for Berkowitz to come out and when he did, my father pulled his gun out and said, 'Freeze — put your hands up.' He rode with them in car with Berkowitz and he said, 'You're Craig Glassman.'" While Craig Glassman was promoting his book in 1990, he died and left behind a suitcase with the information he'd collected on "Son of Sam." Shayna Glassman was then only 4, but she says she always took a keen interest in the killer. "It's my way of being with my father," she told CBS News. "The one thing he left me was this story." In December 2016, Shayna Glassman began writing to Berkowitz and eventually showed up to visit him unannounced. She was allowed in and, when he walked to a seat two feet away from her, not separated by glass, she introduced herself. "He said 'Shayna so good to see you,'" she said. "'So sorry to hear about your dad.'" They spoke for more than two hours, she said, and, since then, she's visited him three more times. She even bought a manual typewriter to write letters to him "because I wanted to get into his mind." Asked if there was anything romantic between them, Shayna Glassman said, "I'm not sure what word to use to describe our relationship. There's no romance, but it's romantic because I was doing book reports about him since eighth grade. He was always part of my consciousness." She said she's been through some hard times and depression and has a feel for what Berkowitz may have gone through when he was only 24 years old. Berkowitz, she said, seems to be doing just fine after decades in captivity: "He's still a human and he's happy. He has a great sense of humor. Yes, he killed people, that's not something to be taken lightly, but in the deepest depths there's always a light that can be presented."
