Jeremiah T’Shaun Harper was 17 when he was killed in Columbus, Ohio, on December 14, 2015. A fight that had been arranged on social media ended in a confrontation with another teenager, Dezmond Childress, during which Jeremiah was shot five times and pronounced dead at the scene at 1:23 PM.

Childress was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter. Video of the fight and shooting was used in the investigation and court proceedings; Childress later pleaded guilty and received a 15-year prison sentence as part of a plea bargain. Jeremiah was a student at FCI Academy and Linden McKinley High School and left behind a young daughter.

What details about Jeremiah’s life, the events that day, or the role of the video would help with understanding this case?
