The male victim, identified as 28-year-old Jeffrey James Allen III of Dayton, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The other victim, another male, was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
A preliminary investigation confirmed that the suspect and both victims are/were employees at DMAX Moraine, Parish said.
According to Parish, investigators have also determined that the suspect and Allen were involved in a “domestic-related feud” over another female employee and that the suspect shot Allen during an altercation inside the facility.

News Center 7 spoke with a clinical psychologist and she described what workers may be going through because the violence happened at work and it’s affecting everyone who works there.
“People typically will experience shock, horror, grief, disillusionment, anger, rage, sadness, shock, this isn’t supposed to happen, it will never happen here is what we all think,” said Dr. Kathy Platoni, Clinical Psychologist.
She said it could take a while for some workers to feel comfortable with walking into the DMAX plant again.
