The gunshot victim was identified as Larod Allen DeLong by Montgomery County Coroner Dr. Kent Harshbarger.
Wood was inside his home in the 2400 block of Auburn Avenue during the early morning hours of April 6 when his doorbell camera repeatedly alerted him to movement in the driveway. Wood went outside and fired more than 40 rounds at two people nearby. One of the rounds struck DeLong in the back of the head, killing him, as he was running away, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
One of the bullets also struck a house across the street and another bullet hit a garage at another house, the prosecutor’s office said.
Investigators reported finding four firearms inside Wood’s house following the shooting.
The one believed to be used during the shooting was found altered in a kitchen cabinet, according to an affidavit filed in Dayton Municipal Court. A drum-style magazine was found in a small storage bin in an adjoining room, police said.
Wood is held on a $1 million cash bond in the Montgomery County Jail.
