Murder indictment filed for man accused of killing girlfriend’s brother
DAYTON — A Dayton man accused of gunning down his girlfriend’s brother was indicted Friday, Oct. 2, on murder and other felony counts.
The Montgomery County grand jury also charged DaJuan M. Bell with two counts of felonious assault and single counts of carrying a concealed weapon and being a felon in possession of a weapon.
Bell, 28, is accused of killing Kantron Gipson on July 11. Gipson was the brother of Chakisha Alstork, who is the mother of Bell’s child.
Gipson’s family said Gipson went to the 3000 block of Wexford Place, in Hilltop Homes, to confront Bell, who they said repeatedly hit Alstork. Bell and Kantron Gipson got into an argument about 1:30 p.m., and Kantron Gipson was shot while running from Bell, Dayton police said.
According to a background check, Bell has been arrested numerous times on domestic violence charges for beating two different women. In one instance in 2001, he was jailed 90 days for charges related to a domestic violence conviction.
Domestic violence charges filed against Bell in January of this year were dropped, along with those filed twice in 2002, according to jail records.
