Antawan Benson Jr., 23, and Javen Conner, 19, both of Jefferson Twp., were charged Friday with three counts of improper discharge of a firearm and one count of discharge of a firearm, according to Dayton Municipal Court records.

Both men were arrested earlier this week in connection to the death of Isabella Amor-Carlos who was killed after her home on W. Fairview Avenue was hit by gunfire Friday, a Dayton police source confirmed to News Center 7.

When they were arrested, Conner was also booked on a murder charge. A murder charge was not filed on Friday, according to court documents.

Both were arrested by Dayton police Wednesday at a home in the 5000 block of Derby Road in Jefferson Township, according to online jail records.

As previously reported, police believe the two men, or others, aimed at a house next door but one of their shots killed Carlos.

Both men remain booked in the Montgomery County Jail.
