An Ohio pastor with deep roots in the Dayton community was shot and killed at his churchSunday, and police say they expect to charge his brother in the slayingon Monday.

The Rev. William B. Schooler, 70, was shot around12:30 p.m.while in his office at St. Peter’s Missionary Baptist Church, Dayton police said.

His brother, Daniel Gregory Schooler, 68, was arrested at the scene and taken to the Montgomery County jail. He faces a murder chargeon Monday, said Sgt. Richard Blommel.

Police said they did not knowSundaywhat led to the shooting but said the pastor was the only intended victim.

Besides being pastor at the church, William Schooler was a past interim president of the Dayton school board and current president of the local Baptist ministers union.

He was a teacher in the Dayton school district in the 1970s and served as a principal in the Jefferson Township district for nearly two decades, according to theDayton Daily News. He also held other positions with community organisations and local governments, including serving as a certified city of Dayton mediator.

“He had deep roots in the community,” a friend, Ronnie Moreland, told the newspaper. “He was a beloved leader. It’s hard to put into words what has happened.”

Dayton City Commissioner Joey Williams told the Daily News he had discussed with Schooler ways to reduce violence in the community.

“For him to be a victim of violence is just extremely saddening,” Williams said.
