Prince Asare, 31, was fatally shot on September 17, 2020, in a parking lot of an apartment complex on Columbus’s Northeast Side. The shooting occurred around 7:30 p.m. after a vehicle crash between Asare and 29-year-old Dennis Mensah. An argument about the crash escalated and Mensah shot Asare. Asare was taken to OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital in critical condition and pronounced dead at 8:09 p.m.

Mensah remained at the scene, surrendered to police and was arrested and charged with murder. The investigation noted this was Columbus’s 107th homicide of the year. The case drew attention because both men were Ghanaian and the incident began as a road conflict.

If anyone witnessed the crash, the confrontation afterward, or was in the parking area that evening, please share what was seen or heard.
