Two Dayton men who are accused of shooting and killing a teen at a Springfield gas station have been indicted.

Sean Thomas, 26, was indicted for aggravated murder, murder, attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault and having weapons under disability, according to court records.

Demietrus Scott, 21, was indicted for aggravated murder, two counts of murder, attempted murder and two counts of felonious assault.

Warrants were issued for both of their arrests on March 1. As of Tuesday, neither Thomas or Scott were listed as inmates in jail.

Keyshayla Collins, 19, of Springfield, was shot and killed Feb. 26 at Speedway, 1147 N. Limestone St., according to the Clark County Coroner’s Office.

A man also was shot and taken to the hospital for his injuries, according to police. He was treated and released.

Officers were dispatched on Feb. 26 to a shooting at the gas station after several gunshots were heard. When police arrived, they found Collins lying at the entrance of the gas station along with the man who was injured by gunshot wounds, according to an affidavit filed in the case.

Thomas and Scott were identified as the suspects after information gathered from witnesses, descriptions and surveillance video, according to the affidavit.

In the surveillance video, police observe Collins and the man exit the gas station before Thomas confronts them and begins “firing multiple shots” that struck Collins and the man, the affidavit stated.

“It found that Thomas was the one who fired an unknown 9mm semi-auto handgun multiple times, which caused the death of (Collins) and injury to (the man). It was also found that (Scott) was the driver of the suspect vehicle,” the affidavit stated.
