Authorities say that in a connected incident several blocks away, an 18-year-old female also suffered multiple gunshot injuries in the shooting incident near Japonica Drive.
WRBL News 3 spoke to Columbus PD’s Assistant Chief Lance Deaton, who broke down what led up to the incident.
“So this initially was a 21st birthday party being held at this residence. A car drives by multiple times, fires at the house, and into the crowd of people where the first victim got shot,” Deaton recalled. “Then, also, the people from inside that same vehicle fire into another vehicle just a short distance away.”
The shooting remains under investigation by the Columbus Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit.
