Monsters and Critics are unable to verify the validity of a video allegedly showing his baby mother Kamaree with the shooter. There have been no police reports suggesting that such a video exists at the time of writing this report.
According to a local report, a distress call was made to police after 1 Am in the morning about a shooting at 5600 block of North Main Street. According to Dayton Daily News, the dispatch records reveal that a woman who identifies as his girlfriend place the call to police. Other dispatch calls to police about the shooting described hearing screaming, gunshots and blood.
Zyiair Sherrer was reportedly found by responding officers in his apartment and appears to have lived in the Harrison Township Apartments building.
A twitter account claiming to be Zay Woah’s management asking for donations to his funeral appears to be fake.
