As previously reported by News Center 7, he allegedly stabbed and killed 23-year-old Christian Vaughn during the fight. He’s also accused of critically wounding another boy in the knife attack.
Galvan-Whitehead was arrested the next day after an hours-long SWAT standoff.
He is facing one count of murder and felonious assault, according to court documents.
As previously reported by News Center 7, a Shelby County Common Pleas Court Juvenile Division Judge ruled that Galvan-Whitehead’s case would be bound over from juvenile court to adult court in October.
In his decision, the judge wrote that prosecutors said Galvan-Whitehead’s girlfriend “… helped clean and re-hide the knives used by (Galvan-Whitehead) at his direction after (Galvan-Whitehead) fled the crime scene and initially hid the knives himself.”
Prosecutors said the knives were moved around and hidden in three places in a house in Sidney before police found them in the basement. They were described as kitchen knives.
