Martin R. Harris, 33, was shot and killed during a home invasion at the Colonial Arms Apartment Complex on Berwick Arms Place on May 24, 2018. Harris was found critically injured at the scene and later died at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center. He did not live in the apartment but was there to sell drugs when two men — identified in reports as Demitrious D. McKnight, 22, and an unidentified accomplice — forced their way in demanding drugs and money.

Reports say an exchange of gunfire occurred between Harris and McKnight; Harris was struck twice and died of his wounds. McKnight was shot and held by a security guard while trying to flee and was charged with murder and aggravated burglary. The second suspect remains unidentified and at large. This was recorded as the 45th homicide in Columbus for 2018 and underscores ongoing violence at the Colonial Arms complex.

If anyone has information about the unidentified accomplice or the events that night, contact the Columbus Police Homicide Unit or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers.
