Naika Brown, 46, was shot and killed at her apartment in the Aston Villas complex on Citizens Place in Columbus, Ohio, on December 15, 2016. She was found unresponsive from a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene by Columbus Fire Medics at 5:38 a.m. Neighbors reported hearing arguments and gunshots the night of the incident.

A 19-year-old, Jakobe Raekwon McCall, was arrested later that day in the 500 block of East Town Street; police considered him armed and dangerous. McCall and Brown were reported to be second cousins and had been arguing just before the shooting. McCall reportedly told a witness he didn’t mean to shoot Brown. His record included multiple arrests and prior assault allegations in North Carolina.

Brown was remembered by neighbors and friends as kind and generous, someone who helped others including trafficking victims and recovering addicts. Does anyone have information about Brown’s life in the community or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
