Eric Shaw was 37 when a shooting at the Southside Court Apartments in Columbus, Georgia on the night of July 21, 2015 left him and his girlfriend wounded. Both were struck by gunfire in the parking lot; his girlfriend suffered leg and buttock wounds and was treated and released. Shaw survived the initial wound to the head and was hospitalized, discharged on October 6, 2015, but readmitted on October 15 with complications tied to blood clots.

He died in the Midtown Medical ICU on October 20, 2015. The Muscogee County coroner, Buddy Bryan, counted this as Columbus’s fourteenth homicide of 2015.

If anyone was at Southside Court Apartments that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
