Dayton man pleads guilty after bragging about bar shooting

Dayton, OH – Jacob Brady, 28, has pleaded guilty to felonious assault and tampering with evidence stemming from a bar shooting incident. The shooting occurred during the early hours of June 22 at Pat’s Bar.

As part of a plea agreement, two firearms-related charges were dismissed. Witnesses reported that the shooting involved a romantic rivalry between Brady and a 23-year-old man.

Court documents indicate that the conflict escalated over a woman the victim was with, who had no interest in Brady. While Brady claimed the victim was threatening him, this assertion was contradicted by witness statements gathered at the scene.

Surveillance footage captured the incident, showing Brady firing at the victim, who then went to the hospital via ride-share. The victim survived his injuries.

After being taken to the Montgomery County Jail, Brady was reportedly overheard making light of the situation, stating, “I’m gonna put that on a T-shirt — ‘BLAM, that boy down.'”

Brady is scheduled for sentencing on December 8.
