Donald Nesbit, a 56-year-old man from Dayton, Ohio, tragically passed away on November 29, 2016. Nesbit was one of three victims in a horrific triple shooting that occurred in the early hours of the morning at a residence on Victor Avenue. The incident also claimed the life of John Dixon, 40, and seriously injured a 25-year-old woman. Nesbit succumbed to his injuries two days later at Miami Valley Hospital.

The investigation into Nesbit's death revealed that the shooting was part of a violent home invasion. Davion Lyons, a suspect in the case, was arrested and later indicted on multiple charges, including six counts of aggravated murder, four counts of aggravated burglary, and four counts of aggravated robbery. Another suspect, Lavelle Broadnax, was also arrested but was later released pending further investigation.

The case drew significant attention from local law enforcement and the community, as the shooting occurred while children were present in the home. The Montgomery County Prosecutor's Office worked diligently to bring charges against Lyons, who was held on a $1,000,000 bond and scheduled for arraignment.

The tragic loss of Donald Nesbit and John Dixon highlighted the devastating impact of violent crime on families and communities. The ongoing legal proceedings aimed to bring justice for the victims and their loved ones, ensuring that those responsible for the heinous act faced the full extent of the law.
