Denisha Taylor, one of two persons of interest in the death of a local 15-year-old has been taken into custody.
Tommy Moreland, 29, and Denisha Taylor, 32, both of Dayton, were identified by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Monday morning as persons of interest for murder, failure to comply with the signal or order of a Police Officer, and tampering with evidence.
Taylor turned herself in.
What happened?
The shooting itself happened between two vehicles Friday morning at the intersection of Philadelphia Drive and Turner Road.
A 15-year-old girl in a Chevrolet Impala was shot and killed during the incident.
A maroon Toyota RAV4 was identified as being at the scene and involved in the shooting. That SUV was later spotted by detectives and involved in a high-speed chase several hours after the shooting.
It was later found abandoned several miles away, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office confirmed.
Moreland and Taylor were identified on video as the driver and passenger of the SUV after the shooting. They were also seen in surveillance video at a carwash shortly after the shooting.
