Following a homicide investigation earlier in the day, a police-involved gunshot occurred yesterday in the 6000 block of Cooper Colony Drive. Detectives from the homicide unit identified 16-year-old Ricardo Ramirez as the suspect in a murder that occurred at the junction of Princess Place and Jester Lane, according to a press statement issued by the Columbus Division of Police.
Following surveillance, the suspect’s car was spotted at a location. Shortly after 3 p.m., Columbus Division of Police SWAT officers noticed Ramirez leave the scene and used undercover police, a K9 cruiser, and SWAT members to conduct a stop. At least one officer fired their firearm and injured Ramirez when he fled the car with a rifle in hand. Ramirez was taken to Riverside Hospital in a stable but potentially fatal condition thanks to the prompt actions of SWAT’s tactical medics.
It is thought that the recovered rifle was the one that was used in the first murder. The incident raises the possibility of further charges against Ramirez, even though he was charged with murder. The car’s driver stayed at the scene and seemed helpful. The next police-involved shooting case is being handled by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
