Jaime Dick, a 33-year-old woman from Dayton, Ohio, was fatally shot in the early hours of Tuesday, February 10, 2026, in what authorities have described as a domestic violence incident. The shooting occurred around 2:06 a.m. in the 4700 block of Queens Avenue.
According to Montgomery County Regional Dispatch records, her boyfriend, 34-year-old Jayme Rogers, called 911 and admitted to shooting her three times. He also warned dispatchers that he was armed and not planning to surrender peacefully.
When Dayton police arrived at the scene, Rogers exited the residence and again confessed to shooting his girlfriend. Officers found Dick inside her running vehicle, which was parked on the street near her home. She had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was immediately transported to Miami Valley Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
Rogers was taken into custody without further incident and has since been charged in Dayton Municipal Court with two counts each of murder, felonious assault, and having weapons while under disability. He also faces a charge of discharging a firearm on or near prohibited premises. Authorities have not released further details about the events leading up to the shooting, but court records indicate that Rogers had a prior criminal history that prohibited him from possessing firearms.
The tragic loss of Jaime Dick has left her family and community in mourning. Friends and relatives have described her as a kind and resilient woman who was working to build a better life. Her death has reignited conversations around domestic violence and the importance of early intervention and support for those in abusive relationships.
Local advocacy groups have responded by urging community members to recognize the signs of domestic abuse and to seek help when needed. The YWCA Dayton and other organizations have reiterated their commitment to providing resources and shelter for victims of domestic violence. They emphasize that no one should feel trapped or alone in dangerous situations.
As the legal process unfolds, the Dayton Police Department continues its investigation. Prosecutors are expected to pursue the case vigorously, and Rogers remains in custody. The community is rallying around Dick’s family, with vigils and memorials planned to honor her memory and raise awareness about the devastating impact of domestic violence.
