FAIRBORN - A stolen $500 piece of silver and two dead suspects are what’s left of a bizarre home invasion that led to a four-hour police standoff.
Bradley Fugate said he had just opened the front and back doors to let some cool air into his Huffman Avenue home Monday, Aug. 31, when two men came in the back door and put guns to his head.
Less than 24 hours later, both of those men were dead, one at Fugate’s home Monday and the other after a Fairborn standoff Tuesday.
“I didn’t know who they were, and they kept asking ‘Where’s the money?’ ” Fugate said. “My brother, we kept trying to talk in circles to keep them calm. The black guy, he kept laughing.”
That man, Danny L. Brown, 30, pushed Fugate’s niece down onto a bed while rummaging through a safe in the bedroom, Fugate said.
“That was enough for me and it allowed me to get my gun from where I keep it in the bed and I raised up and fired,” Fugate said. “We got into the kitchen and he turned around and raised his gun up at me. That’s when I shot him in the head. It was a fatal shot.”
Fugate said he fired two shots at the other robber, Shawn Jones, 40, who was able to get away in a cream-yellow Cadillac with a one-pound silver bar and some prescription medication.
“They got into my safe and got the silver,” Fugate said. “It was just one of the safes with a key - a K-Mart special. You use it to store important documents in case of a fire.”
Brown was found inside Fugate’s home on Huffman Avenue and pronounced dead at Miami Valley Hospital.

I like the way the Fugate guy gives out information, he seems very aware and capable.
Jones at first slammed the door and held his grandmother, Edna Vickery, captive, yanking her back into the house twice when she tried to leave, Fairborn police Capt. Doc Plemmons said.”

What kind of moron uses his grandmother as a human shield?

A cream yellow Cadillac—no sterotyping material here.

Fugate not “facing any charges AT THIS TIME.” What SOBs these journalists are, obviously holding out hope that the law will hound and persecute this guy at some future time.
What a putz. Grandma’s probably glad he’s dead. A little beneficial pruning of the family tree.
Or the gene pool...Thats always a bonus...
