COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two people are dead following a shooting and crash in the western part of Franklin County late Tuesday night.
Around 11 p.m, the Frankin County Sheriff's Office received several 911 calls of a crash involving one car in the eastbound lanes of West Broad Street at the Interstate 270 overpass in Prairie Township.
Arriving deputies found a white Ford Crown-Victoria that crashed into the I-270 bridge abutment column from the eastbound lanes of West Broad Street.
The sheriff's office said the driver, 35-year-old Demarco Dubose, was shot at least once and a female passenger, 40-year-old Roline Williams, suffered life-threatening injuries likely from the crash.
Dubose was pronounced dead at the scene by medics. Williams was taken to OhioHealth Doctors Hospital where she was pronounced dead upon arrival.
A person who called 911 said they were passing by when the incident happened. The caller said they saw a vehicle pull up next to the victim's car on West Broad Street, fire shots and keep going.
The sheriff's office said the suspect vehicle may be an early- to mid-2000 red or maroon Mercury sedan, but did not provide further information.
The ramp from I-270 southbound to West Broad Street eastbound reopened after being closed for several hours.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Franklin County Sheriff's Office Detective Bureau at 614-525-3351.
