The two teens have been described by one neighbor as longtime friends. The shooting of Brooks, a 2018 MHS grad, was reported about 11 a.m. that morning.
Miamisburg police have said they are not sure who fired the gun or whether the shooting was an accident.
The accused teen does not have a criminal record, but he is charged with the third-degree felony.
The charge alleges the teen knew “an official proceeding where an official investigation was in progress” and “did alter, destroy, conceal or remove” items, Capizzi said.
