Homicide Rate

Columbus police say community members have helped identify several people as potential suspects in a triple murder that claimed the lives of two young children earlier this month.

Detective Terry Kelley said he believes the shooters involved in last week's shooting which resulted in the death of a young man and two children "absolutely knew" the children were in the car. Kelly said at this point in the investigation, he believes the children might have been the targets.
