COLUMBUS, Ohio — A suspect was arrested for a shooting nearly 20 years ago that left a man bound to a wheelchair until he died last year.
According to the Columbus Division of Police, DeShawne Stewart shot Wendell Davis on July 8, 2006, in the 1000 block of South James Road. Davis was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life until he died on May 19, 2023.
