COLUMBUS, Ohio — Police have filed an arrest warrant against a man suspected of fatally shooting a man and injuring a woman in northeast Columbus more than a year ago.
Christian Houchins, 30, is charged with murder and felonious assault in the shooting death of 65-year-old Robert Jordan and the shooting injury of a woman on May 31, 2021.
Officers were called to the 1200 block of Sigsbee Avenue for a reported shooting. Arriving officers found 65-year-old Robert Jordan and a 45-year-old woman suffering from gunshot wounds.
Jordan was pronounced dead at the scene and the woman was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Police say Jordan and the woman were in the parking lot of Flames Motorcycle Club when they were shot by the suspect for unknown reasons.
In a release Monday, police identified Houchins as the suspect.
Records from Franklin County Municipal Court say Houchins was seen on video exiting a white SUV and firing several shots at the woman and Jordan.
Detectives learned that the woman was a suspect in the death of a motorcycle club member and the shooting appeared to be retaliatory in nature, according to court records.
Anyone with information regarding this deadly shooting is asked to call Columbus Police Homicide Unit at 614-645-4730 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-TIPS (8477).
