John Warrington, 17, was found dead just after 1 p.m. at his home on Berry Avenue. Police were led to the home by a teenage boy who had been seen washing blood off himself in the Hyde Park Square fountain.
Officers went to the house after the bloodied teenager told a man outside the firehouse on the square that someone had been killed nearby and that the dead person had been beaten with a bat, according to dispatch transmissions. He agreed to show where it happened.
"He's covered in blood," an unidentified caller told 911.
The 16-year-old brother was charged with murder and was being held in juvenile detention Tuesday night, police said. The Enquirer is not naming him because he is charged as a juvenile.
The killing and investigation left the park in the center of Hyde Park Square roped off with yellow crime scene tape. On Berry Avenue, where Warrington lived with his mother and two brothers, neighbors gathered as police kept the street closed for hours while they waited for the Hamilton County coroner's office to arrive. Investigators were still at the home late Tuesday, and police declined to give any other details of the crime.

he's like 4 years younger than me so it's not right that i hit him. he's grown up the past year though. i got a drivers licence and lots of cash and he doesn't so he's started sucking up to me and stopped being such a brat lately.
