Investigators say the defendant called 911, admitted the shooting and now faces murder and weapons counts in Montgomery County.

DAYTON, Ohio — A Dayton man is accused of fatally shooting his girlfriend, 33-year-old Jaime Dick, near her home early on Feb. 10, then calling 911 and telling a dispatcher she “got what she deserved,” according to court records and local reports.

Authorities say the case quickly became a high-profile homicide investigation because the suspect allegedly reported the shooting himself, repeated his confession to officers and was later indicted by a grand jury. Jayme Lee Rogers, 34, is jailed on a $1 million bond and faces multiple felony charges in Montgomery County. The killing left Dick’s family mourning the mother of two while prosecutors moved the case from municipal court into common pleas court.

Police were sent a little after 2 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 10, to the 4700 block of Queens Avenue in Dayton after a 911 call reported a shooting. According to an arrest affidavit described by local media, the caller said his girlfriend had been shot and then told dispatchers that he had fired three times. Investigators later identified the caller as Rogers. Officers found Dick in a running vehicle near her home, dead from gunshot wounds, with evidence of gunfire around the car. Reports said bullet casings were found in the street and on the sidewalk and that the passenger-side window had been shot. When officers arrived, Rogers walked out of a nearby residence and again admitted shooting Dick, according to the affidavit. The records cited by local outlets say Rogers told dispatchers he believed Dick had been unfaithful. That allegation has not been independently established in court filings made public through news reports.

Rogers was first charged in Dayton Municipal Court with murder, felonious assault, having weapons while under disability and discharging a firearm on or near prohibited premises. Later reports said the case expanded after a grand jury indictment. Prosecutors said Rogers was indicted on two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault, two counts of having weapons while under disability and one count of discharge of a firearm in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court. The “under disability” counts indicate prosecutors believe Rogers was legally barred from possessing a firearm, though the public summaries reviewed did not spell out the earlier conviction or legal condition behind that restriction. That is one of several details likely to be developed later in the court process. Another unresolved point is whether prosecutors will argue prior planning, extreme emotional distress or another theory beyond the basic allegation that Rogers intentionally shot Dick during a dispute over suspected cheating.

Dick’s death also drew attention because it unfolded in a residential Dayton neighborhood and because the victim was described by relatives as a devoted parent. Her obituary said she was survived by two children and remembered as a loving mother, daughter and sister. That public remembrance added a personal dimension to a case otherwise defined so far by affidavits, charge sheets and short courtroom appearances. The public record now outlines only the narrowest timeline: a shooting in the early morning hours, a 911 confession, officers finding the victim in her still-running vehicle and a swift arrest at the scene. Missing from those records are fuller accounts of the couple’s relationship, whether there had been earlier domestic violence reports, whether neighbors heard the gunfire before police arrived and whether investigators recovered surveillance video, phone evidence or witness statements that could further map Dick’s last movements. Those unknowns may matter later as prosecutors build their timeline and defense lawyers test it.

The procedural path has moved quickly. Rogers appeared in municipal court for arraignment, where a judge set bond at $1 million and scheduled a next appearance for Feb. 20. By that date, local reports said a Montgomery County grand jury had returned a formal indictment, shifting the case into common pleas court for further proceedings. An indictment is not a conviction; it allows the felony case to move ahead to arraignment, motions, possible evidence disputes and, if no plea agreement is reached, trial. The public reports available so far do not list a trial date. They also do not say whether Rogers has entered a plea in common pleas court or whether prosecutors will seek any firearm specifications or sentencing enhancements beyond the counts already reported. Those decisions, along with autopsy findings, forensic testing and possible ballistics analysis, are expected to shape the next phase of the case in the weeks ahead.

Even in the sparse public record, the language attributed to Rogers stands out. According to court documents cited in local coverage, he told the dispatcher at the start of the call, “Get here quick, someone is shot,” before making the harsher statement about Dick. Officers, prosecutors and reporters have repeatedly returned to that call because it appears to frame both the state’s theory and the emotional force of the case. At the same time, the victim’s family has offered a very different picture of Dick through the obituary, describing her warmth, strength and lasting effect on people around her. That contrast — a brief, violent set of allegations against a longer account of a woman’s life — is likely to remain central as the case proceeds. For now, the courtroom record is still at an early stage, and many details that could explain motive, sequence and prior events remain outside the public file.

The case stood, as of mid-March, with Rogers jailed in Montgomery County and the prosecution advancing in common pleas court after the February indictment. The next major milestone is a formal court appearance in the felony case, where plea status, scheduling and future hearing dates are expected to become clearer.
