Shawndell T. Bryant, a 19-year-old African American man from Columbus, Ohio, was shot in the early morning hours of March 29, 2014, in a parking lot on the city’s South Side and died a few hours later at Grant Medical Center. Police say Bryant and another man attacked a 58-year-old man, who remained at the scene, cooperated with investigators and said he shot Bryant in what he described as self-defense. The suspect reportedly had injuries he said supported that account. Bryant’s family disputes the self-defense claim, saying neither Bryant nor the other man had a gun. A third person involved fled the scene and had not been located at the time of the report.

Columbus homicide detectives treated the death as the city’s 20th homicide that year and continued investigating. Bryant’s sister said he was a champion boxer who hoped to join the Army and attend college. Does anyone have information about the third person who fled or other details that could clarify what happened that night?
