HUBER HEIGHTS, Ohio —
Other than confirming that items were missing from the home of a man found shot to death, Huber Heights police are saying little about the investigation into the Wednesday night homicide.
The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Tyree North, 31. His girlfriend found him Wednesday at 5 p.m., unconscious in the hallway of the single-story ranch residence in the 8100 block of Mount Charles Drive.
North suffered a gunshot wound to the back of his head, according to the coroner’s office.
Sgt. William Dulaney told News Center 7 police were called to the home when the woman said she came home to find her boyfriend unconscious.
On a 911 tape released Thursday, that woman can be heard telling an emergency dispatcher that her boyfriend fell down and there was a robbery.
She tells the dispatcher she was at work for four hours and came home and the house was a mess with a TV and laptop missing. When asked if her boyfriend was breathing, initially she says she thinks so, but then says she doesn’t know.
“He’s bleeding from his nose,” she says. She tells the dispatcher that he is face down on the ground, but doesn’t mention a gunshot wound.
An autopsy was performed Thursday.
“Right now we have a deceased male,” Dulaney said. “There has been a burglary at the residence.”
The girlfriend, whose name has not been released, was taken to the police department to give a statement, but was not considered a suspect on Wednesday night, Dulaney said.
According to a Facebook page belonging to North, he grew up in Dayton and graduated from Col. White High School in 2000. He was a wide receiver on the school’s football team when they won their first City League title in decades in 1998. Neighbors said he had lived at the Huber Heights home for about a year.
