Montgomery County • May 23, 2025

​

Good morning, Montgomery County. A wave of relief swept through the community as 21-year-old Jesse Chapman was located by Dayton Police after disappearing from Miami Valley Hospital Wednesday night. The young man, who had been at the facility for a mental health evaluation, was found safe after authorities launched a search and public information campaign—a bright spot amid a week that also saw tragedy with the loss of 18-year-old Tayshawn Cobb in a shooting incident on Pinecrest Drive.

Despite the upcoming NATO Spring Parliamentary Assembly restricting access to parts of downtown from May 21-27, Montgomery County residents won't lack for entertainment options. The weekend calendar is bursting with alternatives from the Cheese Fest at Austin Landing to vintage markets, live music performances, and even a flash tattoo fundraiser for cat adoption. These diverse events showcase our community's resilience and ability to find joy even as official proceedings transform our downtown landscape.
