Roger Kenneth Pindell, 26, was found shot in the back of a wrecked vehicle in the 500 block of Seymour Avenue on the Near East Side of Columbus and was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:09 a.m. on December 29, 2019. Witnesses reported a group of men inside the vehicle fled after the shooting. Police later located a group carrying several guns about a mile from the scene.

A 17-year-old, Keyontay Perry, from the Hilltop area, was arrested and charged with delinquency murder in connection with Pindell’s death. Perry had been shot multiple times in November 2019 at a home on South Burgess Avenue; that episode was noted during the investigation. The reasons for the Sunday morning shooting remain under investigation.

If anyone saw activity on Seymour Avenue that morning or has information about the vehicle or the group of men who fled, please share what is known with investigators.
