CLEVELAND — A Cuyahoga County grand jury has indicted Nathanial Crockett for the killing of a missing Warren father whose body was found in East Cleveland earlier this year.
Crocket is charged with aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, kidnapping, arson, gross abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence and having weapons while under disability in connection with the death of Juvar King, according to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office.
The suspect is currently being held in the Cuyahoga County Jail.
Crockett was taken into custody last week when he appeared at a pretrial hearing for an arson charge following his arrest earlier this year when the car King was driving was found set on fire.
King's death was ruled a homicide in May; his body was found in East Cleveland on March 17.
According to the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office, King's cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound to the head.
