Dayton police, FBI offer $15,000 reward after Sugars Bar homicide
Summary
Dayton police, joined by federal partners, announced a $15,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect identified in an April 5 homicide at Sugars Bar and Grill, 1919 North Main Street. Investigators said surveillance shows the suspect leaving the scene and a vehicle linked to the case was recovered in Middletown.
An agency official with the Dayton Police Department announced a $15,000 reward on behalf of federal partners for information leading to the arrest of a man police identified as Quandric Lavar Morris Oglesby in the April 5 fatal shooting at Sugars Bar and Grill, 1919 North Main Street in Dayton.
Police said the victim, identified in the release as Quesan Webb, arrived shortly before 2 a.m. and went into a back room used that night for gambling. About 10 minutes later, investigators said, the suspect entered and both individuals were patted down by limited on-site security; no weapons were found during those checks.
Surveillance footage reviewed by investigators does not show the shooting itself, the official said, but cameras captured the suspect walking toward the area where the victim was located and later leaving the establishment carrying a bag and a weapon and leaving bloody footprints. The official said the suspect grabbed a ballistic vest and removed at least one security DVR from the premises before fleeing; police later recovered a vehicle linked to the incident in Middletown.
"The FBI is offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to the location and arrest of Quandric Lavar Morris Oglesby," the agency official said. The official said the suspect is known in the Dayton area, has prior arrests for drug- and weapons-related offenses and has contacts outside the city, which is why the department is working with the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service.
Authorities urged anyone with information to call the Dayton Police Department at 937-333-2677 or Crimestoppers at 937-222-7867. At a question-and-answer session, the official said investigators were able to quickly identify a primary suspect from the evidence gathered that night but had not located him and emphasized that federal partners provide resources to assist outside the local area.
The department did not provide an arrest date, charging documents, or further identification details for the suspect beyond the name released in the briefing. The investigation is ongoing.
