This incident is still under investigation and anyone with information is asked to contact the Columbus police Felony Assault Unit at 614-645-4141 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-TIPS (8477).
Two men were killed in separate shooting incidents within minutes of each other Saturday night, bringing the total number of homicides in Columbus this year to 65.
Terrance Jewell was walking across the parking lot of a Northeast Side apartment complex on Glen Grove Lane at 9:33 p.m. when he was shot by someone who fled the scene in a dark SUV, Sgt. James Marable of the Columbus police Homicide Unit.
Jewell, 24, was pronounced dead at 10:02 p.m. at OSU Wexner Medical Center.
A shooting at the same location late Sunday night led ta 54-year-old man in critical condition at Grant Medical Center. Police did not say the incidents were linked.
Two minutes after the shooting that claimed Jewell‘s life, and at a location a little more than three miles away, police say a woman turned a gun on the man who stole her car and shot him to death.
Detectives say the 20-year-old woman, whose name was not released, was sitting with a man in a vehicle in the parking lot of a carryout at 1482 Oakland Park Avenue when a man approached and pulled a gun, Marable said.
As the 24-year-old man was driving away in the woman’s car, Marable says he allegedly pointed a handgun at her for a second time and the woman, who was armed with a handgun, shot the man who crashed the woman’s car across the street.
The dead man’s name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
Marable says the case will be handed over to the Franklin County Prosecutor’s office for review.
Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to call the Columbus police Homicide Unit at 614-645-4730 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-TIPS (8477).
Three other men were recovering from gunshot wounds suffered in separate incidents between midnight and 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning.
