Tejuan Jerome Hammons, a 40-year-old man from Columbus, Ohio, died after being shot on December 3, 2020. The shooting occurred around 11 p.m. inside an apartment at the Clear Point Gardens complex on the 1700 block of Shanley Drive. Hammons was taken to OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Court records say the incident followed a domestic dispute. Hammons reportedly had an active arrest warrant for violating a protection order and for domestic violence. Earlier the same day he allegedly went to the apartment of the woman who held the protection order, dragged her outside and threw her against a window, injuring her. An 18-year-old male shot and killed Hammons during that altercation. Columbus police have not released the shooter’s name and the homicide investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Columbus Police Homicide Unit or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers.
