On December 13, 2017, Jason Collins, 32, was shot and killed during an apparent home invasion at about 2:07 a.m. on North Harris Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. His brother, Joseph Collins Jr., 35, was also inside the residence and suffered serious injuries; he was taken to Mount Carmel West Hospital in stable condition. The suspect, named as Harry Lathon Jr., reportedly forced entry, then fled in a late-model white Honda Odyssey.

Authorities say Lathon is believed to be armed and dangerous and have charged him with aggravated murder. This was the 131st homicide in Columbus in 2017 and one of five homicides that occurred over four days in the city.

If anyone has information about this incident or Lathon’s location, please contact the Columbus Police Homicide Unit or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers.
