Cuyahoga County prosecutors have indicted Rashad Hunt for voluntary manslaughter, felony assault, gross abuse of a corpse and obstructing official business.
The charge of voluntary manslaughter says Hunt acted with "sudden passion" or a "fit of rage" leading to the death of Bryant.
Hunts arraignment date is July 19.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O'Malley said in a news release that Hunt confessed to killing Bryant.
"Unfortunately, another teen in our community has lost their life," O'Malley said. "My condolences go out to the family of Tierra Bryant. It is my hope that at some point in the near future her remains are recovered so that she may receive a proper burial and to assist this family in the healing process."

Bryant's mother Tameka Car described her family's suffering, not knowing what happened to the 19-year-old for years. She said Hunt treated Bryant like a dog.
"Nobody's going to be the same. Nobody's going to be the same because of him," Bryant's father said through tears.
