Montgomery County Juvenile Court Administrator James Cole said given the charge and the age of the defendant, he anticipates prosecutors will seek to transfer the case to adult court.
Graham was shot in the head with a handgun just after 11 p.m. in the parking lot of the Prestige Place hotel across from the Dayton Mall, according to Miami Twp. police.
