Man changes plea in plot to kill Kettering woman

A man accused of plot- ting with two others to kill a Kettering woman in Xenia Twp. changed his plea this week to guilty.

Jahmel Douglas Morgan, 23, of Beavercreek, pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiracy to commit aggravated murder and aggravated robbery, according to Greene County Common Pleas Court records. A conspiracy to commit murder charge was dismissed.

He is scheduled to be sentenced May 18.

The charges are connected to a Sept. 12 shoot

when a Xenia Police Division sergeant found a woman with a gunshot wound to her neck near Hilltop Road. She was taken to Miami Valley Hospital

injuries that were not life-threatening.

The woman said her ex-boyfriend, La’Dashiaun “Shawn” Brown, was one of the people involved, but she could not identify the other two suspects, according to Xenia Municipal Court records.

Morgan and co-defendant Aaron Joseph Davis turned themselves in to a Greene County Sheriff’s detective and told they planned with Brown to kill the woman, according to court documents.

“More specifically, Morgan admitted he, Brown and Davis made a plan to have [the woman] pick them up in her vehicle, drive to a different location for Davis to shoot [the woman],” an affidavit read, “As part of the plan, Morgan admitted he was supposed to shoot [the woman] in event Davis was not able to do so.”

Brown pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated murder, aggravated rob

felonious assault, tampering with evidence

having weapons while under disability, according to common pleas court records. He was sentenced in November to 20 to 25 years in prison and is incarcerated in the Southeastern Correctional Institution in Lancaster, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation & Correc

website.

Davis is facing attempted aggravated m u r d e r , attempted murder, aggra

robbery, felonious assault and tampering with evidence charges.
