Witnesses told an investigator with the sheriff's office that Dallas Marsh, who is from the Dayton area, was a passenger in a car with two other people when they came across another vehicle on CR 6763.
A shot was fired from the second vehicle as the car Marsh was in approached it, hitting Marsh in the face.
After Marsh was shot, the people he was with drove to a home on CR 677 in the West Woodland Hills subdivision.

Marsh was flown by Life Flight to a hospital in Houston. Officials believe his gunshot wound is non-life threatening.
Investigators are following up to find out a motive for the shooting and to confirm the identity of the suspected gunman.
