On the evening of September 22, 2024, 22-year-old Jonathan Santiago was shot on the west side of Columbus in the 1000 block of Cliff Creek Drive, west of Hilliard Rome Road. Officers arrived about 10:30 PM and found Santiago with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Doctor’s West Hospital but was pronounced dead at 11:07 PM.

Investigators say the shooting followed an argument and physical altercation between Santiago and 22-year-old Alejandro Angulo-Ramos. Witnesses and court records allege Angulo-Ramos pushed Santiago, produced a firearm and shot him in the upper body, then fled in a beige Toyota Corolla. A warrant for murder was issued and Indiana State Police arrested Angulo-Ramos the next morning, September 23, 2024, at a Sunoco station in Ferdinand, Indiana. He was to be extradited to Franklin County to face charges.

Anyone who witnessed the incident on Cliff Creek Drive or saw a beige Toyota Corolla leaving the area that night is asked to come forward with information.
