COLERAIN TOWNSHIP — A man suspected in the weekend drive-by shooting of a Skyline Acres teen surrendered to police Tuesday.
Rayshawn Walker, 21, turned himself in to Hamilton County sheriff's detectives about 4 p.m., said Sheriff Simon Leis Jr. Mr. Walker is charged with aggravated murder in the shooting of Jerric L. Anderson, 19, early Saturday at Planet and Aquarius drives.
He will be arraigned today in Hamilton County Municipal Court.
A chill cloud of fear spread through Skyline Acres as Georgia Anderson answered phone calls Tuesday from friends of her grandson.
“There are a lot of sad faces out here,” Mrs. Anderson said. “I didn't realize he had so many friends. The telephone has been constantly ringing. It is very tense out here now, but I hope nothing else happens.”
Colerain Township Police Chief Ed Phillips said drive-by shootings are rare in the neighborhood of moderate houses in Colerain Township and Mount Healthy.
There have been no homicides in the township since June 1998, when Mary Jennifer Love, 6, was strangled and raped by a neighbor.
“One of our patrol cars was near the scene of the shooting. The officer chased a suspect, stopped the car, and the suspect ran before he was arrested,” Chief Phillips said.
Another suspect, Shawn Crump, 26 of Avondale, has been charged with obstructing official business. Mr. Crump was in the front seat of the car carrying Mr. Walker, who police said did the shooting.
Friends of Mr. Anderson said the shooting occurred after a party in College Hill to raise money for a rap CD that Mr. Anderson was recording with friends.
Mr. Anderson also is survived by his father, Robert Miller of Forest Park; a sister, Erica Wright; and two brothers, Jerrod (his twin) and Tracey, all of Colerain Township. His mother, Michelle Anderson, died in 1994.
Service will be at 11 a.m. Friday at Thompson, Hall & Jordan Funeral Home, 11400 Winton Road, Forest Park. Visitation will be 10 a.m. until the service at the funeral home.
