McFadgion is accused of shooting and killing 65-year-old Ellis Lucas on Trenton Street on Aug. 26.
Court documents initially filed in Dayton Municipal Court state McFadgion arrived at the home on Trenton Street and confronted an ex-girlfriend.
“Mr. McFadgion argued with his ex-girlfriend from his vehicle and observed a figure he knew to be Mr. Lucas standing in the doorway,” the affidavit states.
Police then wrote that McFadgion described shooting over his ex’s vehicle from his vehicle into the residence and then leaving the area.
He was arrested the next day on Beechwood Avenue. He remains booked in the Montgomery County Jail.
He’s scheduled to appear in court next week.
