Twenty-year-old Marquise-Khalil Allen Williams Jr. was killed in a drive-by mass shooting on February 27, 2025, on the East Side of Columbus. The attack in the 400 block of Kimball Place wounded three other men; Williams was found with gunshot injuries, taken to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center and pronounced dead just after 10:30 p.m.

Witnesses said gunfire came from a white minivan, and others reported a gray Dodge Challenger nearby. Police recovered casings from multiple firearms, and officials said rifles and handguns were used. A ShotSpotter alert detected several rounds of automatic gunfire shortly before 7 p.m., followed by a 911 call reporting multiple gunshot victims outside a residence.

Authorities believe the shooting grew out of an argument between one of the surviving victims and another individual. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the Columbus Division of Police is asking nearby residents to check security camera footage for leads.

If anyone has information or camera footage from Kimball Place that evening, can you share it with the Columbus Division of Police?
