Teen suspect stands trial for fatal Wyoming shooting
WYOMING, Ohio (WXIX) – The 14-year-old suspect, referred to as T.P., faced a judge for the first time on Friday following his arrest Thursday and the shooting death of Jaymir Hill Wednesday.
Prosecutors said the fatal shooting was the result of a gun sale gone wrong.
Meanwhile, in the West End, a Stop the Violence event was held aimed at bringing the community together.
“Your honor this entire incident was captured on video. There are multiple witnesses to this crime.”
T.P. is being held in the youth detention center following his arrest on murder and felonious assault charges after being accused of killing 15-year-old Jaymir Hill in a shooting in Wyoming. A possible motive was revealed in court.
“The subject admitted to meeting the deceased person to purchase the firearm. During the firearm transactions a physical altercation occurred, and the listed arrestee obtained the firearm. The listed arrestee shot the deceased person one time causing his death.”
According to his public defender, T.P. had no prior record and is set to start the 8th grade next month.
He argued T.P. shouldn’t be held but released to his parents and electronically monitored. Both of his parents were in court.
“So if he is on EMU, he is going to comply with EMU. He is going to be in the home going only to school and back and that is when school starts.”
Prosecutors don’t feel the same, stating that T.P. should be held due to the serious nature of the charges and safety concerns.
The judge ruled, based on the allegations, for T.P. to be held until at least his next court date.
Hours after the court hearing in the nearby West End, a Stop the Violence event was held.
It was organized by Save Our Youth Kings & Queens, an organization dedicated to reducing gun violence and providing resources to people in the community.
“We need everybody to just step up and go into these communities and touch the youth that’s misunderstood and going through some things that making them picking up these guns and doing these reckless, reckless, horrible homicides they’re doing,” Mitch Morris, founder of Save Our Youth Kings & Queens, said.
The event was held at Linn and Clark Streets, giving people in the community a chance to connect.
“He can’t do it alone. We can’t do it alone either,” Capt. Doug Snider of the Cincinnati Police Department said. “We need to work in partnership with the community, so we wanted to come out here and support him with this today because we’re all one team. We’re all working together to achieve that common goal.”
Morris said he feels it’s important to celebrate the most precious gift…the gift of life.
“It’s pretty bad right now,” he said. “We have these horrific shootings in these neighborhoods and people will raise up and be all hands on deck for a couple of weeks and then they die down. We have to be consistent. Day after day, year after year, to show we’re serious about this. We’re tired of this happening in our communities..”
T.P. is due back in court on July 21. A motion has been filed to bind this case over to adult court.

James Forest Mothersbaugh Jr.: 1953 – 2025
James “Jim” Forest Mothersbaugh Jr. passed away on Saturday, December 6, 2025 at Central Wyoming Hospice in Casper, Wyoming, from complications of Multiple System Atrophy. He is survived by his wife, Becky Mothersbaugh; his sons, James Forest Mothersbaugh III and Blair Mothersbaugh; and Blair’s fiancée, Kelsey Baron.
Jim’s life was defined by music. He was a highly accomplished violinist, performing with the Orquesta Sinfonica de Puerto Rico, Wyoming Symphony Orchestra, and Savannah Symphony, among many others. He held degrees in violin performance, music education, and conducting from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and the Hartt School of Music in Hartford, Connecticut, with additional doctoral studies at the University of Iowa. He met his wife when they were both performing in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and passed his musical acumen to both of his sons. Jim taught orchestra and music theory to generations of students of all ages & abilities during his 28 years in the Natrona County School District. He conducted award-winning orchestras, taught students who went on to become professional musicians, and instilled a sense of purpose, character, and belief in both his students and colleagues that extended far beyond the stage. He was also an expert in the craft of re-hairing bows for string instruments, knew everything there is to know about The Beatles, and possessed a rare ability called synesthesia, which allowed him to see specific colors when hearing music. He leaves an extensive, enduring, and active legacy in the Wyoming musical community.
Jim will be immensely missed by his family, his friends, his colleagues, and his students. A celebration of life will take place at Backwards Distilling Company in Casper, Wyoming on June 28, 2026 from 2 to 5 p.m. Please RSVP at https://jimsmemorial.rsvpify.com/.
