COLUMBUS, Ohio — (COLUMBUS, Ohio) -- Krieg Butler, a 36-year-old white man who shot and killed 13-year-old Sinzae Reed, in Columbus, Ohio, in October was indicted by a grand jury Friday on charges of tampering with evidence and improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle.
The indictment comes after the office of Franklin County Prosecutor G. Gary Tyack presented evidence surrounding the death of the teen to a Franklin County grand jury on May 17 and 18. Multiple witnesses testified under oath.
DeWine signed a “Stand Your Ground" bill in January of 2021, which removed the requirement for someone to retreat before self-defense. Butler was arrested days after the shooting and charged with murder, but those charges were dropped at the time pending completion of the investigation after prosecutors said Butler claimed self-defense in the shooting during his arraignment in October, according to a statement from the Columbus Police Department. Police told ABC News they have completed their investigation.
The Franklin County prosecutor's office said in a statement on Friday that they would not comment further as Butler's case will be actively prosecuted.
