Hayes was convicted of killing 31-year-old Shauna Cameron, a passenger in a Chevrolet Impala headed east the afternoon of May 8, 2022, on U.S. 35 in Riverside near the Woodman Drive exit. She was shot when Hayes fired at least twice at the car, police said.
A 29-year-old man driving the Impala and a 23-year-old passenger, a woman, took Cameron to Miami Valley Hospital, where she died of her injuries. The other two occupants were not hurt.
The intimidation charges are “for activity of the defendant in relation to the homicide” that happened between Oct. 13, 2022, through March 28, said Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Greg Flannagan.
Hayes claimed self-defense and testified on his own behalf during his Oct. 2-5 trial, but the court found him “utterly incredible and not worthy of belief in any material respect,” Dankoff wrote.
Cameron’s mother, Stacy Cameron, said her daughter often volunteered at an area soup kitchen and was studying to become a nurse assistant at Ross Medical Education Center in Dayton, where she received a diploma and lab coat posthumously from the school. She also had attended Springfield City Schools and graduated from Opportunities for Individual Change — “OIC” — of Clark County’s Life Skills program.
Hayes is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 1.
