Brandon Carr, 35, was wanted for homicide, felonious assault and kidnapping in the shooting death of Brittany Russell, 29 of Middletown. In February of 2016, Russell was found shot to death in her car, her 6-month-old daughter was in the backseat of the car when Russell was found. The baby wasn't harmed.

SOFAST and Dayton police knocked on the front door and say Carr tried to get out of a back window, but was unable to escape since authorities had the home surrounded.
