On June 11, 2024, James Dominick Macarrios O’Neal, a 24-year-old resident of Columbus, Ohio, was shot and killed on the city’s Southeast Side. Police responded to reports of gunfire around 1:20 p.m. on Chatterton Road and found O’Neal with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead shortly before 1:30 p.m. Witnesses said O’Neal had been talking with people in a dark-colored vehicle that had stopped nearby, and that someone from that vehicle produced a firearm, shot him several times, then fled west on Chatterton Road.

Investigators describe the incident as a targeted attack, but the motive remains unclear and no arrests have been reported. The Columbus Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the area that afternoon see the dark-colored vehicle or the people who were with it?
