A drug-dealing dad with an extensive criminal history has been indicted for killing his teenager daughter then trying to blame her death on his autistic stepson.

Kenneth Paul Farler III, 38, was indicted by an Ohio grand jury on Monday in connection to the fatal shooting of his 15-year-old daughter Kendra on April 14.

Dayton police were called to the 400 block of Bowen Street around 12 p.m. where they found Kendra with a shotgun wound to the chest.

She was pronounced dead at the scene and Farler told police his 15-year-old non-verbal, autistic stepson had accidentaly shot Kendra.

‘This defendant should never be allowed anywhere near a firearm and deserves to be in prison. A completely innocent 15‐year‐old girl has lost her life at the hands of her father,’ Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck said.
