Dayomine Owens

Dayomine Owens was a man whose life is preserved in community memorials and official remembrance lists from Dayton and Montgomery County, Ohio. Public records identify him as an African-American man who died on July 27, 2000; beyond those facts the documentary record available online is sparse, but the listing of his name among the 2000 homicide memorials indicates that family, friends, or community members felt it important to honor his memory.

Because there is no published, family-authorized obituary located in accessible newspaper or funeral-home archives that matches both his full name and the date of death, details such as his early life, work, relationships, and personal interests are not available through the reliable public sources consulted. Acknowledging those limits, what remains important is to treat Dayomine as a person first: his inclusion on local memorial pages and state cold-case records shows that he was part of a community that remembers him and hopes for resolution and dignity.

This remembrance page honors Dayomine without attempting to fill gaps in the public record. His name is listed among Montgomery County’s official memorials for 2000 homicide victims and appears in statewide cold-case listings maintained by the Ohio Attorney General with the incident and homicide date recorded as July 27, 2000. Those official listings reflect the county’s and state’s recognition of his life and the continuing wish by some to preserve memory and seek answers.

To visitors and to anyone who knew Dayomine: this page holds his name with respect. If family members or loved ones would like to provide photographs, personal memories, or corrections so a fuller, family-approved tribute can be written, those contributions would allow a more complete celebration of who he was beyond the limited public record.
