COLUMBUS, Ohio — Police arrested a man suspected of fatally shooting a 21-year-old man at a northeast Columbus gas station last month.
Keimariyon Malachi Demetrish Ross, 18, was taken into custody after turning himself in Sunday. He is charged with murder in the death of Kevin Sobnosky.
The shooting happened at the Sheetz located at 1485 North Cassady Avenue around 3:50 a.m. on Oct. 30.
Police said Sobnosky and three friends drove in the area when multiple people started firing shots. The vehicle was hit by gunfire and Sobnosky was struck.
Sobnosky was taken to The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at approximately 4:17 p.m. His death marks the 119th homicide in Columbus this year.
