COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Franklin County Coroner's Office has identified the suspect killed in a shooting involving multiple officers and a deputy in east Columbus Saturday evening.
According to the Franklin County Sheriff's Office, a deputy working special duty at Walgreens on East Livingston Avenue around 7:50 p.m. was alerted by someone that a "male subject" with a gun outside fired shots and was chasing him.
The deputy found the suspect, 45-year-old Antwan Lindsey, and more shots were fired. The deputy began chasing Lindsey on foot.
While the chase was going on, Chief Deputy Jim Gilbert said that gunfire was exchanged between the two at an apartment complex just east of Livingston Avenue and South James Road. The deputy then called for assistance.
Deputy Chief of Police Tim Myers said that officers responded alongside deputies at 7:54 p.m. to an "officer in trouble call." Upon arrival, officers were told that Lindsey had gone into one of the apartment buildings.
Myers said police found Lindsey and multiple officers fired shots, striking him at least once. He was taken to Grant Medical Center and later pronounced dead at 8:25 p.m.
No officers or deputies were injured in the shooting incident. The two agencies did not identify the officers and deputy involved but did say their time with the agencies span between two and 19 years.
Police say they located a firearm at the scene.
