FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio (FOX19) - A Butler County Grand Jury indicted a man Wednesday in connection with the 2018 killing of Sydney Garcia-Tovar in Fairfield Township.
Detectives identified Markeylnd Townsend, 22, as a suspect in their investigation, a news release from Fairfield Township police said.
Investigators say the 16-year-old Hamilton High School graduate gave some people a ride to the complex and there was a confrontation.
She was not the intended target of the gunfire, officials said, but Garcia-Tovar was the only one killed.
