Devon Jordan Davis-Ball, a 38-year-old Columbus resident, was shot at the No Cap Hookah Lounge and Grill in Blendon Township in the early hours of May 26, 2024. Officers responded to reports of gunfire around 3:30 AM and found Ball with critical injuries; he was taken to Riverside Hospital and died shortly after arrival. No suspects had been taken into custody in the aftermath, and authorities have not released a motive as investigations continue.

The shooting occurred just over a week after another fatal shooting near a different hookah lounge in Columbus, a string of incidents that has drawn concern from local families and officials. Ball’s funeral service was scheduled for June 8, 2024.

If anyone was at the No Cap Hookah Lounge and Grill that morning or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
