Nicholas G. Evans, 51, was shot to death on July 20, 2022, behind the United Dairy Farmers convenience store in the Short North Arts District of Columbus. Police say the shooting happened about 1:40 a.m. while Evans was retrieving his bike in an alley behind the store. After being shot he tried to return to the store but collapsed in front of the rear doors; people inside called police and he was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:55 a.m.

Authorities report an altercation with 47-year-old Jeremy Vest, who allegedly produced a firearm and shot Evans. Vest was arrested a few blocks from the scene and charged with murder; he remained in custody. The Columbus Division of Police continues to investigate and is asking anyone with information to contact the Homicide Unit or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers.

Does anyone have information about Evans, his movements that night, or witnesses who were in the area behind the store?
