The charges are in connection to the shooting death of Aaron Tigner, 28, last month at Partners in the 400 block of Patterson Road.

As News Center 7 previously reported, the shooting was reported on March 9 around 1:30 a.m.

An investigation showed that Tigner and Barker had allegedly gotten into an argument while at Brewski’s Bar on Patterson Road. The argument continued into the parking lot, but Barker had driven off in a silver car, according to an affidavit and statement of facts filed in Dayton Municipal Court.

As Tigner and a woman were making their way to her car to leave, Barker allegedly ran out of Partners Bar, confronted them, and shot Tigner multiple times.
