DAYTON —

The Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office said Friday that a grand jury has indicted a Dayton man accused of shooting his girlfriend and killing her son Nov. 21.

Brian Holloman, 45, was indicted on one count of murder, two counts of felonious assault with a deadly weapon and one count apiece for having weapons under disability, discharge of a firearm on or near a prohibited premises and disrupting public services.

Holloman is being held in jail on a $1 million cash bond. He is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday.

Quinton Stone, 25 was killed during an apparent ongoing dispute in the 700 block of North Gettysburg at about 3:15 a.m. Nov. 21. His mother, Twanda Stone, 52, was injured and was taken to a hospital that day, police said.

Prosecutors said the Stones went to Holloman’s home to inquire about previous injuries Twanda Stone had suffered. Holloman allegedly retrieved a handgun and fired multiple shots at Quinton Stone.

Stone’s killing was Dayton’s 24th homicide this year, officials said.

When officers first responded to the shooting, they found Quinton Stone laying on the side of the street. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police reports.

Holloman and Twanda Stone have had a romantic relationship marked by domestic violence, police said. Apparently, Quinton Stone noticed some bruising on his mother’s face and became concerned. The Stones and Quinton’s girlfriend then went to Holloman’s house.

When they arrived, Quinton Stone picked up a landscaping tie and began bashing in the front window. Holloman came outside and began firing. At some point, Quinton Stone fled, leaving Holloman’s property and running across the street, but Holloman pursued him and continued firing.

“That does not work when it comes to the Castle Doctrine,” Dayton police Sgt. Dan Mauk said, referring to the doctrine that allows people to use deadly force when an intruder tries to enter their homes without becoming liable for prosecution.

Stone was shot several times, Mauk said.
