Andrew Santiago, 25, was fatally shot on the back porch of his Clintonville home on January 3, 2022. Police found him about 12:30 a.m. after responding to a report of a shooting; he was pronounced dead at the scene, the city’s first homicide of 2022. Reports say detectives believe Santiago was involved in an altercation with at least one other person before multiple shots were fired.

Investigators have collected information about a midsize gray vehicle seen in the area that they think was used to flee the scene, but no motive has been established. Columbus detectives have asked the public for video or tips and emphasized community cooperation. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified. Santiago’s family has spoken of their grief and the effect his death will have on his young daughter.

If anyone has security footage or other information about the shooting or the gray vehicle, please contact the Columbus police homicide unit or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers.
