Dysert was involved in the incident that led up to the murder of Damere Oliphant in March 2016. Dysert said that he was the one who facilitated a drug deal with Oliphant and Dysert’s two friends, Gavin Lauck and Dalton Duncan. Dysert said although he didn’t pull the trigger, the gun used was his.

Gavin Lauck was in the Allen County Common Pleas Court Friday for a motion hearing.

A crowd gathered Friday evening at the former Taco Bell in Shawnee, where 20 year old Damere Oliphant was found shot to death on March 27th.
