The victim who died was found inside a car. That person was pronounced dead at 7:50 p.m. The victim s name has not been released.
Police say one of the victims was grazed in the leg. Another four people who were shot were taken to Nationwide Children s Hospital, Mount Carmel East and OhioHealth Pickerington. All of these victims are in stable condition.
LaToya Renee Carpenter hadn t been gone from the apartment more than a few minutes when her fiance, Perez Williams, heard banging on their door.
Roused from a nap, Williams answered it to find his niece and some other friends and family, frantic as they told him what had just happened. Carpenter had been shot, they said, and she had not survived.
Williams was in disbelief.
“I said, Ain t no way, because she just walked out the door, ” Williams, 50, said.
Carpenter left her Truro Township apartment, just southeast of Columbus, just before 7:30 p.m. to pick up her 11-year-old daughter from her sister s home.
