Dajuan Rios, 36, was shot in the front yard of a residence on the 800 block of Murray Avenue near East 5th Avenue in Columbus, Ohio, on August 3, 2024. Officers arrived about 11:29 PM and Rios was taken to Grant Medical Center in critical condition; he died there at 3:21 AM on August 4, 2024.

Investigators identified 34-year-old Brittney Nicole McBride as the primary suspect and say she and Rios had a history of a violent domestic relationship; court records show McBride had previously stabbed Rios and had an outstanding felonious warrant at the time of the shooting. Detectives reviewing 911 calls found a female caller believed to be McBride who reported hearing a gunshot, seeing someone fall near a driveway, and a person standing in a doorway when the shot was fired.

The Columbus Division of Police Homicide Bureau is handling the investigation. Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything that night or know more about Rios and McBride’s relationship?
