COLUMBUS — One person was killed in a shooting on Columbus’ South Side early Sunday morning, according to The Columbus Dispatch’s report of a Columbus Division of Police dispatcher’s account of the call.
Columbus police officers responded to the intersection of Parsons Avenue and East Innis Avenue at around 12:44 a.m. on November 15 on a report of a shooting, The Columbus Dispatch reported. One person was transported from the scene to a local hospital in critical condition and was pronounced dead at 1:14 a.m., according to the Columbus police dispatcher, as reported by The Columbus Dispatch.
Officers detained two people in connection with the shooting, but police had not identified a suspect, according to the dispatcher, as reported by The Columbus Dispatch. The person who died has not been publicly identified in the dispatcher’s account, and police have not released information about what led up to the shooting.
What we know — and what we’re still waiting on
What we know is limited to the dispatcher’s account reported by The Columbus Dispatch: the time and location of the response, that one person died at a hospital, and that two people were detained while no suspect had been identified. What we’re still waiting on: the victim’s identity, whether anyone will be charged, and the police division’s fuller account of the circumstances. NewsForce247 will append a labeled update to this article when Columbus police release those details.
The timeline released so far spans just half an hour: officers were sent to Parsons Avenue and East Innis Avenue at about 12:44 a.m., and the person taken from the scene was pronounced dead at 1:14 a.m., The Columbus Dispatch reported from the dispatcher’s account. No further official timeline — including when the two detained people were taken into custody — has been released.
Parsons Avenue is the South Side’s main north-south corridor, running through the neighborhoods south of downtown Columbus. Anyone with information about the shooting can contact the Columbus Division of Police. This is a developing story, and it will be updated as official information is released.
