PONTIAC, Mich. — The Oakland County prosecutor wants the name of the accused Oxford High School shooter removed wherever possible from court filings and for participants in hearings to refrain from saying his name, according to court records.
Ethan Crumbley, 15, of Oxford is charged with killing four fellow students and wounding five students and a teacher in the Nov. 30 rampage at the school. His parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, are charged with involuntary manslaughter connected to the shooting.
Prosecutor Karen McDonald is expected to ask the judge presiding over his parents' case to rule on her "no notoriety" request next week. Prosecutors have referenced writings in his personal journal where he said he wanted to be known as responsible for one of the nation's worst school shooting crimes so his name would live on.
