Columbus Police Investigate Fatal Midnight Shooting on Princess Ln, Seek Community Assistance

Columbus police officers were dispatched to the site of a shooting in the 5000 block of Princess Lane early this morning. Officers discovered a person who had been shot in the incident, which happened just after midnight. According to a statement from the Columbus Division of Police, the victim passed away from their wounds despite prompt attempts to save their life and was declared dead at a nearby hospital.

When the cops arrived around 12:14 am, they provided assistance until Columbus Fire Medic #6 arrived. After being promptly taken to the hospital, the victim died at 12:55 am despite medical attention. The shooting is still being investigated, and police are still trying to learn more about the incident, so there are still little details available.

Under the direction of Detective Matthew Smith and with assistance from Detective Mark Smith, the Columbus Police Homicide Unit leads the investigation. The agency encourages the public to come forward with any information they may have about the unfortunate incident so that more evidence and witness statements can be gathered. Central Ohio Crime Stoppers is another source for anonymous tips.

Since each number we read reflects a community of friends and relatives hollowed out by loss, authorities may be working to inform next of kin before disclosing the victim’s identify. People can report anonymously by calling Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at (614) 461-TIPS (8477) or by calling the Columbus Police Homicide Unit at (614) 645-4730. In order to piece together the events leading up to this unjustified act of violence and to help pursue justice for the person whose life was so suddenly taken, community members’ participation may prove crucial.
