On April 7, 2008, 18-year-old Tiana Goins of Columbus, Ohio, was killed in a drive-by shooting on Cordell Avenue in the South Linden neighborhood. The shooting happened about 10:13 p.m. while Tiana sat on the hood of a parked car with her cousin, boyfriend, and a friend during a large spring evening gathering of more than a dozen people. A white or tan Caprice pulled up and shots were fired into the crowd; Tiana was struck and killed instantly. Witnesses said there was no altercation or exchange of words immediately before the shots, and it is unclear whether an earlier argument on a COTA bus was connected. Tiana had graduated early from Fort Hayes Arts and Academic High School, was planning to become a nurse, and was about to start a new job when she was killed. The Columbus Police homicide unit continues to investigate and asks anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers or the homicide unit.

Did anyone in the South Linden area that night notice the described Caprice or other details that could help the investigation?
