Feng Yang, 74, was found with a gunshot wound on October 10, 2025, in the 800 block of West Stephen Drive on Columbus’s west side. Officers were dispatched about 1:25 p.m.; medics transported her to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead at 2:00 p.m. Next of kin were notified.

Detectives processed the scene, marking shell casings as neighbors watched from behind police tape. An adult man remained at the address and told officers he was the person who shot Yang, saying he acted in self-defense after being threatened. Investigators noted domestic violence as a possible motive and the man cooperated; the department had not announced an arrest or filed charges as the Homicide Bureau continued to verify statements, test evidence, and interview witnesses.

Does anyone in the area remember seeing or hearing anything around West Stephen Drive that afternoon that could help investigators?
