As News Center 7 previously reported , Askew and another person were shot early Tuesday morning.

The investigation into the shooting started when one of the two victims pulled his car into a gas station in the area of Salem Avenue and Free Pike and made a 911 call. After that, he pulled back out and drove up a block to the Sonoco gas station where workers called for help around 2:40 a.m.

“Hey man, somebody just got shot,” one 911 caller told dispatchers. “He’s dead over here in this parking lot.”

The gas station worker filled in dispatchers as sheriff’s deputies, Trotwood police, and Dayton police converged on the area.
