Columbus police have charged a man with the fatal shooting of his girlfriend's brother during an argument Saturday night on the Near East Side.

Responding to a report of a shooting at 196 Miami Ave., police found 25-year-old Samuel Taylor, who died in Grant Medical Center a short time later.

Police blocked off the neighborhood near the intersection of E. Spring Street and Miami Avenue. Sgt. Steven Little said officers captured Shawn Robinson, 35, in a nearby alley, where they found a gun.


Robinson is charged with murder.

Family members said Saturday that Robinson shot Taylor about 7:15 p.m. after Taylor tried to break up an argument between Robinson and Taylor's sister.
