After the shooting, Eric Dean was arrested and later indicted by a grand jury on multiple charges including aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence. His case was transferred from juvenile court to the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. Parker’s family and friends mourned his loss and remembered him fondly.
