Kenjuan Keeshawn Howard, 26, was fatally shot on November 27, 2023, near East Weber Road and McGuffey Road in Columbus’s North Linden neighborhood. First responders found him with a gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:45 p.m. Reports say Howard had been speaking with three people shortly before the shooting; after they parted ways, gunfire erupted.

The Columbus Division of Police released images of the three persons of interest and asked the public for help identifying them. The next day officers arrested a 17-year-old male near the same intersection; he was charged with murder and two counts of felonious assault and held at the Franklin County Juvenile Detention Center. The other two people were later cleared of involvement. Howard was born February 3, 1997, and family and friends remembered his vibrant personality and community dedication; funeral services were held December 22, 2023.

Does anyone who was in North Linden on the evening of November 27 have information that could help investigators?
