On August 12, 2015, 38-year-old Joshua Hise of Springfield, Ohio, was found unconscious in an apartment-complex parking lot on Vester Avenue after a physical altercation. He suffered a fractured skull and major brain hemorrhaging and was taken to Springfield Regional Medical Center, then airlifted to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, where he died the next day.

Springfield Police reviewed surveillance footage from the complex and interviewed witnesses. Investigators identified 29-year-old Jeremy Carmichael of Springfield as the primary suspect; a Clark County grand jury issued a secret indictment charging Carmichael with involuntary manslaughter. On October 2, 2015, members of the SOFAST regional task force arrested Carmichael in Springfield and booked him into the Clark County Jail.
