Kahreem G. Brown, 24, who has been living with family in the area, but is from Florida, was indicted by a Butler County grand jury last week for murder and felonious assault.
At arraignment, Butler County Common Pleas Judge Daniel Haughey set his bond at $1 million, noting he did not have ties to the area and could be a flight risk. He is scheduled to be back in court Oct. 26 for a pre-trial hearing.
According to the Butler County Coroner’s Office, Ingram died of blunt force trauma and his death was a homicide.
A person called 911 telling the dispatcher, “Some guy might need some help. I just had to beat the crap out of some guy. Because I just had to.”
Dispatchers called back several times when the caller hung up after saying he didn’t know his location in Hamilton.
With the help of a cellular service provider and another call from the man, the residence was located.
In the final call, the person said, “there’s been an accident. I put my hands on his quite bad.”
The caller said he did not believe the injured man was breathing.
Brown is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Haughey’s courtroom.
