His brother JaJuan Olden Jr. was fatally shot around 12:20 p.m. July 26 at an apartment in the 600 block of Rockford Avenue in Dayton. Olden died of a single gunshot to the chest.
“Further investigation, including witness statements, determined the defendant was carelessly playing with the firearm when he shot the victim,” a prior release from the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office stated.
Patrick-Brooks was booked Oct. 5 — his 19th birthday — into the Montgomery County Jail following his indictment for reckless homicide. He was released shortly thereafter on a $25,000 bond and placed on electronic home detention monitoring, records show.
He was back in court Wednesday for a hearing after he apparently violated conditions of the bond. A judge ordered him jailed on a new bond of $1 million, which represents a 3,900% increase over the original $25,000 bond set in the case.
A prosecutor’s office spokesman on Thursday said it was unclear how Patrick-Brooks may have violated the bond terms, nor whether it will affect his sentencing scheduled for Tuesday.
