COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Division of Police charged a 16-year-old boy with murder in the death of a man who was found shot after crashing his vehicle into a pole earlier this month.
The teen was arrested without incident by a Columbus SWAT team on Tuesday and is being held in the Franklin County Juvenile Detention Center. The murder charge stems from the death of 21-year-old Caleb McKenzie on June 4.
Columbus police were called to Sullivant Avenue in the Franklinton neighborhood after a report of a crash in that area. Officers found McKenzie unresponsive inside a vehicle.
McKenzie was taken to Grant Medical Center where he later died. Doctors discovered that he had been shot.
Columbus police did not provide additional details on how the shooting happened or the teen's role in the incident.
