Man Charged with Murder After Breaking into Ex-Girlfriend’s Home and Fatally Shooting Her
According to police, Jackson broke into Brown’s home through a window, waited inside, and then ambushed her.
Dayton, OH – A 32-year-old man is facing multiple felony charges after allegedly breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s home and fatally shooting her early Monday morning.
Tony Jackson, Jr. was formally charged on Wednesday with aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, aggravated burglary, tampering with evidence, and possession of a weapon while under disability.
The charges stem from the killing of 34-year-old Matyka Brown at her residence on Millicent Avenue.
According to police, Jackson broke into Brown’s home through a window, waited inside, and then ambushed her.
Newly obtained court documents reveal that Jackson shot Brown twice—the first shot injured her in the presence of a child, and the second, fatal gunshot was fired as Brown’s two daughters, ages 14 and 9, escaped the home.
A 911 caller reported that Brown’s daughters ran to a neighbor’s house for help after gunfire erupted.
Court records also indicate that Jackson unplugged surveillance cameras inside Brown’s home before carrying out the attack.
This was not Jackson’s first reported act of violence against Brown.
In October 2024, he was arrested for allegedly strangling her, but prosecutors stated that a grand jury declined to bring charges, resulting in the case being dismissed.
Jackson has an extensive criminal history.
Ohio prison records show that he previously served time for aggravated robbery and kidnapping.
In August 2019, Jackson and two other men carried out an armed robbery at the Ohio Loan Company on W. Third Street, where they pistol-whipped an employee, fired gunshots inside the store, and stole more than two dozen firearms.
DNA evidence later linked him to the crime.
Jackson is currently being held in the Montgomery County Jail on a $3 million bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for next week.
