A man who is charged with supplying a gun used in a shooting death during IUPatty’s in 2017 pleaded guilty to two counts against him.
Yesterday was a session of Criminal Call, and during the hearing for 20-year-old Matthew Ohler, Jr., of Indiana, Ohler pleaded guilty to conspiracy to aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy. He was charged with a count of conspiracy to commit criminal homicide and two counts of conspiracy to reckless endangerment, but those charges have been dismissed. He is accused of supplying the gun to Matthew McNevin used in the IUPatty’s shooting that killed Carlos Recalde-Campos and wounded Samantha Riley. Ohler was found after the shooting hiding behind the Venice Pizza shop in White Township. He was also in a social media post riding in the car with McNevin as he said in the post he was going to shoot the victim. Police had later said that Ohler was a dealer in stolen guns and supplied McNevin with the gun used in the shooting.
In a related story, McNevin had a criminal call hearing for the charges related to his behavior while incarcerated. He was charged in one incident with institutional vandalism and fighting and with assaulting a guard at the Indiana County Jail last fall. That hearing was continued yesterday.
Also, 19-year-old Nathaniel Price had his hearing continued. He is one of two co-defendants in the murders of a Cherryhill Township Couple in October of 2016. Both he and Justin Stevenson are charge of killing Timothy Gardner and Jacqueline Brink during a marijuana deal involving Gardner. Brink was killed because she was allegedly a witness to the killing.
