Afzal said a handgun was recovered from the scene.

Johnson was taken to Miami Valley Hospital.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is investigating both the shooting and the initial crash.

Once the investigation into the shooting is complete, Dayton Police will conduct their internal investigation.

Johnson is set to be arraigned on Aug. 7.

Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly listed the charges Johnson was indicted on. He is facing charges of tampering with evidence, obstructing official business, and failure to stop after an accident.
