Evidence at the trial established that on the evening of April 28, he drove his mother’s vehicle to a Xenia house where two men were on the back porch.

Creamer exited the vehicle with a gun, pointed it at the first victim, and threatened to kill him. The second victim stood up, grabbed the gun, and attempted to disarm Creamer. He held on to the gun, fired a shot, and missed. Cramer then ran from the scene, the prosecutor’s office said.

At the scene, police found two parts of a fragmented bullet and a .45 caliber spent shell just feet from where Creamer fired.

He was found in Washington Court House and arrested at his mother’s home.

Creamer is facing over 30 years in prison.
