A convicted felon who was legally prohibited from owning firearms murdered his girlfriend in cold blood, then brazenly confessed to police that she “got what she deserved” for allegedly cheating—exposing catastrophic failures in enforcing existing gun laws that leftists ignore while demanding more restrictions on law-abiding citizens.
Story Snapshot
- Jayme Rogers, 34, shot girlfriend Jaime Dick three times at 2 a.m., killing the mother of two, then called 911 admitting the murder
- Rogers was a convicted felon with prior drug convictions, making his firearm possession already illegal under federal law
- He surrendered to Dayton Police repeating his confession, claiming she deserved death for alleged infidelity
- Rogers faces murder, felonious assault, and weapons charges with $1 million bond, highlighting enforcement gaps in felon firearm prohibitions
Felon’s Chilling Confession After Fatal Shooting
Jayme Rogers placed a 911 call around 2 a.m. on February 10, 2026, telling dispatchers to “get here quick, someone is shot” before coldly admitting he was the shooter. Rogers told emergency operators his 33-year-old girlfriend, Jaime Dick, “got what she deserved” because he believed she was cheating on him. When Dayton Police officers arrived at Dick’s home, Rogers walked out to meet them, repeating his confession without hesitation. Officers discovered Dick inside a running vehicle outside her residence, suffering from three gunshot wounds. She was rushed to a hospital but pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Prohibited Possessor Obtained Firearm Despite Existing Laws
Rogers had multiple prior drug convictions in Montgomery County, Ohio, which legally barred him from possessing any firearms under both federal and state law. Despite these prohibitions designed to keep guns away from dangerous criminals, Rogers somehow obtained a weapon and used it to execute his girlfriend in a fit of jealous rage. This case starkly illustrates what Second Amendment advocates have long argued: criminals do not follow gun laws, and existing statutes are only effective when properly enforced. The focus should be on keeping violent felons off the streets and ensuring prohibited individuals cannot access weapons, not imposing new restrictions on responsible gun owners.
Mother of Two Killed Over Unproven Allegation
Jaime Dick leaves behind two children who must now cope with losing their mother to senseless violence. Rogers appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner over an allegation of infidelity—a personal grievance that he twisted into a death sentence. The victim had no opportunity to defend herself or escape the lethal confrontation. This domestic violence tragedy underscores the dangers posed by individuals with criminal histories and violent tendencies, particularly when they can circumvent laws meant to disarm them. Dick’s family now faces the devastating reality of raising her children without their mother while seeking justice through the legal system.
Legal Proceedings and Systemic Failures
Montgomery County prosecutors charged Rogers with murder, felonious assault, and multiple weapons violations following his arrest. A judge set bond at $1 million, with Rogers scheduled to appear in court on February 20, 2026. The weapons charges directly stem from his status as a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, violations that carry severe penalties under Ohio law. This case raises critical questions about enforcement mechanisms for felon-in-possession statutes. How did Rogers acquire a gun despite being prohibited? Were background check systems bypassed, or did he obtain the weapon illegally through black market channels that no amount of additional legislation can stop?
Gun Control Debate Misses Real Problem
Leftist politicians habitually call for more gun control laws whenever tragedies occur, yet cases like Rogers’ demonstrate the futility of passing additional regulations when existing laws are not adequately enforced. Federal law already prohibits convicted felons from possessing firearms, with penalties including up to ten years in prison. Rogers violated these laws, obtained a weapon illegally, and committed murder—proving that criminals ignore statutes designed to constrain them. Conservative Americans understand that protecting Second Amendment rights while ensuring dangerous criminals face consequences requires rigorous enforcement of current laws, improved background check accuracy, and harsher penalties for illegal possession. Stripping rights from law-abiding citizens does nothing to prevent felons like Rogers from accessing weapons through illegal means, yet this fundamental truth escapes gun control advocates who prioritize ideology over practical solutions.
