Man indicted for shooting near Dayton bar
Jacob A. Brady, 27, was indicted on two counts of felonious assault, one count of tampering with evidence and one count of illegal possession of a firearm in a liquor permit premises. Each felonious assault charges also included a three-year firearm specification.
The charges stem from June 22, when Dayton police responded to a shots fired call at Pat's Bar, 2725 Linden Ave.
When officers arrived, they learned a man had been shot and was taken to the hospital in a private vehicle, where he was listed in critical condition. Crews gathered bullet casings and began speaking to witnesses.
According to an affidavit filed in Dayton Municipal Court, surveillance video showed a man, later identified as Brady, shoot a person.
"It appeared that Jacob Brady shot (the man) due to a female that had dated (the man) and did not want to be romantically involved with Mr. Brady," a detective wrote in the affidavit.
Brady told police he shot the man because he made threats, court documents said.
"Mr. Brady was investigated on jail calls laughing at the fact he had shot (the man), stating, 'I'm gonna put that on a t-shirt, BLAM, that boy down,'" an affidavit read.
Brady is currently in the Montgomery County Jail, and is scheduled to be arraigned July 8.

Colorado man sentenced to life in prison for DUI that killed Air Force veteran, injured his children
A Colorado man who killed an Air Force veteran while driving drunk last year will spend the rest of his life behind bars after he was found guilty of first-degree murder. Paul Stephenson, 57, of Castle Rock, was convicted in April of killing USAF Lt. Col. Matt Anderson and injuring his four children after he crashed his truck into their vehicle while driving drunk in August 2024. Stephenson was sentenced to life in prison plus 92 years. Anderson was stopped at a 7-Eleven gas station with his family following a trip to the Douglas County Fair when he was killed, according to the 23rd Judicial District Attorney's Office. His wife was walking into the store when Stephenson drove his Chevy Silverado into their vehicle. While in court, Stephenson admitted to drinking a bottle of fireball whiskey and two beers before driving and his blood alcohol level was 2.5 times the legal limit, the DA's office said. Stephenson racked up his third DUI conviction when he was found guilty of killing Anderson. District Attorney George Brauchler said his office pursued the first-degree murder charge to "send a message to drunk drivers in Douglas County." Brauchler, who prosecuted the case, said it is a "bitter coincidence" that justice was handed down against Anderson's killer one day before July Fourth. "It is a bitter coincidence that the day before we celebrate our nation's independence, we have to confront the loss of one of America's great Patriots who died… Not at the hands of the enemy… But by the selfish conduct of one of us," Bruachler said. "The only appropriate sentence in this case is the one that will prevent things like this from happening again by scaring the hell out of those who would engage in similar behavior." Brauchler acknowledged that Douglas County is the most aggressive on drunk drivers compared to other jurisdictions in the area. Anderson's father said the verdict gives their family "a small amount of closure" and thanked the agencies involved in handing the sentence down. Senior Deputy District Attorney Nate Marsh commended the jury's decision and said it reflected how serious it is to drive drunk. "The defendant cared only about himself and showed a complete disregard for the value of human life. This was murder in the first degree-extreme indifference and the jury agreed. His life sentence will ensure he cannot rip anyone else from their family," Marsh said.

How law enforcement's discovery of rare drug in Suzanne Morphew's body led to her husband's eventual arrest
The investigation into Suzanne Morphew's disappearance appeared to be at a standstill following the dismissal of Barry Morphew's murder charge in 2022. That changed when investigators found a rare chemical compound inside her body, which prosecutors say ties Barry Morphew directly to her death. Barry Morphew was arrested near Phoenix, Arizona on June 20 following a grand jury indictment for allegedly killing his wife, 49-year-old Suzanne Morphew, a mother of two, who vanished on Mother's Day in 2020. The Morphews lived near Salida, Colorado. Morphew waived an extradition hearing and is now at the Alamosa County Jail in Colorado. Just months after murder charges against Barry Morphew were dismissed in 2022 due to prosecutorial misconduct, investigators found Suzanne Morphew's body in September 2023 while searching in Saguache County, located in the southwestern part of the state. According to the June 20 grand jury indictment charging Barry Morphew with first-degree-murder after deliberation, many of Suzanne Morphew's bones were found "significantly bleached" when her remains were found in 2023. When an autopsy was performed in 2020, according to prosecutors, a deer tranquilizer called "BAM" was found in her bone marrow, which stands for the chemicals butorphanol, azaperone and medetomidine. Court documents say that Barry Morphew used the "BAM" deer tranquilizer to transport deer on his farm in Indiana. Barry Morphew was the only individual with a prescription for the deer tranquilizer within the area of Colorado he lived in. "Ultimately, the prescription records show that when Suzanne Morphew disappeared, only one private citizen living in that entire area of the state had access to BAM: Barry Morphew," the indictment states. Barry Morphew's attorney, David Beller, told Fox News Digital that Morphew "maintains his innocence." "Yet again, the government allows their predetermined conclusion to lead their search for evidence," Beller said. "The case has not changed, and the outcome will not either." Colin McCallin, a Colorado-based lawyer and former deputy district attorney for the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office in Colorado, told Fox News Digital the alleged connection between Barry Morphew and the deer tranquilizer makes this case "very strong." "And so now with the discovery of Suzanne Morphew's body and of course the forensic evidence that the autopsy has yielded, we can see that this tranquilizer was indeed found inside Suzanne Morphew's remains," McCallin said. "And when I initially heard that, I was like, okay, well, there could be explanations for that. But then you find out how rare this compound is, this tranquilizer." The BAM deer tranquilizer, according to McCallin, is a tightly regulated substance used in certain situations - not on humans. "It's something that's made by one company. It's a highly regulated controlled substance that's only usually used by veterinarians or parks and wildlife officers," he said. "And then you found out that Barry Morphew is the only person in the region who has this prescription for this tranquilizer. All of a sudden, this looks like a strong case against Barry Morphew." Though an autopsy revealed the presence of BAM in her body in an April 29, 2024 announcement, it would be over a year before Barry Morphew was charged again. McCallin said this could be explained by 12th Judicial District Attorney Anne Kelly being "methodical" in her handling of the case. "Just because they found the body and they found that tranquilizer, investigators still have a lot of work to do. There's no statute of limitations for murder. They can charge Barry Morphew now. They could charge him five, ten years down line. And I think they wanted to dot their i's and cross their t's and make sure that they were never in a position like the first prosecution," McCallin said. Eric Faddis, a Colorado-based attorney and former prosecutor, told Fox News Digital that the evidence allegedly tying Barry Morphew to the deer tranquilizer is a "game changer." "There are other folks in the region who have access to the drug, but my understanding is they're mostly veterinarians, and people who work in animal sciences. And surely this revelation sort of points directly at Barry Morphew, which is a problem for the defense," Faddis said. While Faddis says the alleged evidence tying Barry Morphew to the deer tranquilizer is an issue for the defense, he said that the prosecutors still face a major challenge. GET REAL-TIME UPDATES AT THE FOX NEWS TRUE CRIME HUB "I think prosecutors absolutely have an uphill battle and any sort of celebration for justice would be premature. I think that, you know, the case is largely circumstantial," Faddis said. "And on top of that, the prosecution has been handcuffed by the court based on their prior prosecutorial misconduct. And so they are not going to be able to call many of the experts who would be beneficial to proving the case. So for all of those reasons this is by no means a slam dunk and, in fact, I think on the balance it's actually going to be very difficult to prove."

Husband stands by Chicago teacher accused of having sex with student more than 50 times
The husband of a Chicago high school teacher accused of sexually assaulting a student more than 50 times is showing support for her after the couple arrived in court seeking to reduce the distance from her alleged victim. Christina Formella, a 30-year-old teacher at Downers Grove South High School, is facing 55 counts of criminal sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual abuse, indecent solicitation of a child and grooming. While Judge Mia McPherson denied an earlier request from the prosecution to hold Formella in custody while she awaits trial, a number of conditions were set for the former educator. One of the conditions requires Formella, a special education teacher and soccer coach, to wear a GPS tracker and live at least 5,000 feet (1,524 metres) away from the alleged victim's home, school and workplace. Formella's lawyer Todd Pugh asked the judge on Wednesday for the buffer be reduced from 5,000 feet to 2,500 feet, but the request was denied. Formella has been living with her parents since mid-June as the couple's marital home is within the exclusion zone mandated by the court. After the judge denied the request, Pugh said outside the courtroom that Formella has 'a great family, plenty of support,' reports the Chicago Tribune. Meanwhile, a person who sat behind the couple inside the courtroom on Wednesday revealed that they were smiling during the proceedings. 'Michael was holding her hand the entire time,' the source told the New York Post. 'They were smiling at each other, literally smiling at each other the entire time until she got up. They look really confident.' Formella was arrested and charged in mid-March after the alleged victim and his family went to the Downers Grove Police Department to report claims of inappropriate sexual contact. Following an investigation, the 15-year-old victim revealed further allegations of sexual abuse that dated back to January 2023 and continued through August/September 2024. 'It is alleged that during this time, Formella sent the victim multiple text messages that were grooming in nature and that she and the victim had engaged in sexual acts approximately 50 times, both at the school and at Formella's home, including at least 45 times at the school,' the DuPage County State's Attorney Office said in a statement on June 17 in which 52 additional charges were announced. DuPage County state attorney Robert Berlin called the new allegations 'beyond disturbing.' 'I thank the victim in this case for having the courage to come forward during what I image is an extremely difficult time for him,' Berlin said.
