28-year-old Dawun Ray was seen threatening his brother, Zacir Ray, with a machete at a Glen Haven Drive residence on June 6th. When officers arrived on the scene, they spoke with Zacir, who told officers that Dawun had come into his room to ask him to do the dishes. The argument soon turned into a physical altercation. Zacir claimed that Dawun grabbed a hair pick that was on a table and attempted to stab him in the leg while he pushed him into the wall on the second floor. Officers observed a hole in the wall where the altercation had occurred, as well as a hair pick on the floor. Officers then spoke with their mother, Lakisha Ray, who stated that after the two separated, Dawun came downstairs and attempted to grab her shotgun from her room. Lakisha told officers she stopped Dawun from grabbing the shotgun, but instead, he grabbed a machete. Lakisha communicated to officers that Dawun then began arguing with Zacir from downstairs while swinging the machete at the railing on the stairs, causing significant damage. Officers observed the damage to the railing and the machete that was used. Dawun later admitted to hitting the railing with the machete. Officers then spoke with Zacir again, who claimed he was on the staircase when Dawun hit the railing. Zacir told officers that Dawun tried to hit him with the machete and that he was afraid Dawun was going to kill him. Dawun was taken into custody for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism on June 7th.
