The charges are in connection to a shooting on W. Euclid Avenue on Dec. 21.

When police got to the scene, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to Springfield Regional Medical Center where he was flown to Miami Valley Hospital. He died there three days later on Christmas Eve, as News Center 7 previously reported.

A person who witnessed the shooting told police that he went to the area to pick up DeArmond and take him to Wendy’s. On the way, DeArmond noticed his phone was missing and thought someone took it, according to court records initially filed in Clark County Municipal Court.
