Jimmy Crum, 51, died from a gunshot wound after an altercation outside Van’s Carry Out in Franklinton, Columbus, on February 9, 2021. The confrontation began inside the store when Crum and another employee asked a customer to leave. That customer, Mark Stephens, 41, reportedly threatened to return and shoot the employees, then came back with a group and a second fight broke out outside. Shots were fired during that fight and Crum was struck.

Crum was taken to Grant Medical Center in critical condition and died two days later. Stephens was arrested on February 12, 2021, and later indicted on aggravated murder, murder, and having weapons under disability charges. The community remembered Crum as a dedicated employee and a beloved neighborhood member.

Did anyone witness the confrontation or have information about who accompanied Stephens when he returned to the store?
