COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Division of Police arrested a man suspected of shooting and killing two people in northeast Columbus late Monday night.
Officers were called to the 3200 block of Plum Creek Drive near Stelzer Road around 11:50 p.m. after receiving reports of a shooting. Police arrived and found a man and a woman who were shot, according to records from the Franklin County Municipal Court.
The woman, 33-year-old Ciera Webster, was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:08 a.m. Police said the man, 30-year-old Demarco Moorer, was taken to the hospital where he later died at 2:13 a.m.
