Dayton man indicted in double homicides

JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WDTN) - A grand jury indicted a Dayton man Friday for killing two men and having their bodies dumped near a Jefferson Township Creek.

27-year-old Gregory Leet faces ten charges in the deaths of Nathan Gay and Harvey Sims junior.

Prosecutors say an unfortunate turn of events resulted in two men losing their lives, and it all started with a bad drug deal.

Montgomery County prosecutor Mat Heck says Gregory Leet tried to buy drugs at Wilkinson Plaza on Fifth Street in Downtown Dayton.

Heck says during the transaction Leet was robbed by the drug dealer.

Moments later, 55-year-old Harvey Sims and 49-year-old Nathan Gay offered to help find the drug dealer that ripped Leet off.

Prosecutors say Sims and Gay got into a vehicle with Leet and his two friends Kenneth Baily and Baily's cousin Tyler Blevins.

Detectives say Leet drove everyone to Jefferson Township and unleashed his rage on Sims and Gay.

Montgomery County Prosecutor, Mat Heck said, "He was angry over having lost his money, having been robbed, and as a result, it appears he killed these two innocent individuals."

Prosecutors believe Bailey and Blevins had nothing to do with shooting.

Bailey says he and Blevins were held against his will.

"I was scared watching them two people die and I was scared for my own life. I got a gun put to my head too and I watched my little cousin who's scared too," said Bailey.

Leet is behind bars on a two million dollar bond.

Heck says if Leet is convicted, he could face 83 years to life behind bars.

"This type of ridiculous senseless killing cannot simply be tolerated and we're not going to tolerate it that's why you see the charges coming out of this," said Heck.

Prosecutors say they still don't have the murder weapon.

Gregory Leet is expected to appear for another arraignment on Tuesday, March 16th.
