An Ohio man has been arrested and charged after reportedly shooting a man at a Dayton bar during a heated altercation. Jacob Brady, 27, faces charges of assault and carrying a concealed weapon following the incident at Pat’s Bar on the early morning of June 22.
The details of the case have shocked many, especially as Brady allegedly bragged about the shooting while in jail.
The Shooting Incident
According to court documents, Dayton Police responded to multiple calls about shots fired at Pat’s Bar around 2:00 AM on June 22. Upon arriving at the scene, witnesses confirmed that a shooting had occurred, and a bartender provided security video evidence.
The victim, a 23-year-old man, was reportedly shot by Brady during a confrontation at the bar.
Brady is said to have shot the victim because the man was dating a woman that Brady had previously shown interest in. Witnesses indicated that the woman had no interest in Brady and wanted nothing to do with him. The victim, who was critically injured, managed to get a ride-share to the hospital.
Brady’s Confession and Video Evidence
In his confession, Brady claimed that he shot the victim because the man had been making threats. However, witnesses at the bar disputed this claim, stating that no threats were made by the alleged victim.
The bartender’s security footage supported the witnesses’ statements, showing Brady allegedly firing two rounds at the victim. Police also found casings at the bar near the location of the shooting, further confirming the incident.
Bragging About the Shooting in Jail
After his arrest, Brady was booked into the Montgomery County Jail, where his behavior took an unsettling turn. According to police, Brady was overheard laughing about the shooting and making disturbing comments.
Other inmates reportedly heard him say, “I’m gonna put that on a t-shirt — ‘BLAM, that boy down.'” This boastful and callous remark raised concerns about his attitude towards the violence he had allegedly committed.
The shooting at Pat’s Bar and Brady’s subsequent behavior in jail have left many wondering about his lack of remorse for his actions. As he faces serious charges, the community remains shaken by the violent outburst that led to the victim’s critical injuries.
The case highlights not only the dangers of violent altercations but also the troubling lack of empathy shown by the accused following such an event.
