Columbus investigators are searching for the suspect in a Sunday evening shooting that sent one person to the hospital.
The shooting occurred around 5 p.m. near the intersection of Sixth Street and Fifth Avenue South, according to a Columbus Police Department press release. The man who was shot was taken by helicopter for trauma care in a different city.
Authorities did not release the victim’s condition by press time this morning.
Reports indicate the victim and suspect were involved in some type of argument before the shooting. The suspect is described as a “light-skinned black male” driving a dark gray SUV that is possibly a “4×4 heavy-duty type vehicle,” the press release said. There may be another man with the suspect.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Golden Triangle Crime Stoppers at 1-800-530-7151.
