Columbus, OH: Early Morning Shooting Leaves One Dead

COLUMBUS--Police said a man was shot to death, early Sunday morning, inside an apartment home on the far east side.

Patrol officers were dispatched to 371 Heatherbridge Lane, about 4:33 a.m.
Inside they found 27- year- old Quentin Walker, shot in the chest. Medics pronounced him on scene.

Police said the victim went over to his ex-girlfriend's home. Investigators said the two got into a fight and she shot the victim in self defense.

"With the information we have from her, we are not going to charge her at this time." Sgt. Dana Norman said.

Detectives said the couple's young son was inside the apartment home when the shooting occurred.

"That is pretty sad." Neighbor Roger Bryant said. "I feel really bad for everybody."

Police are not releasing the name of the shooter. This case will be presented to the Franklin County Grand Jury for review.
