A man was arrested and charged in connection to the shooting of a 17-year-old girl in the South Linden neighborhood.
According to Franklin County Municipal Court documents, 19-year-old Demetrius "Meechi" Brown Jr. was taken into custody Friday after the victim positively identified him as the person who shot her earlier that month.
Officers were called to the area of East 11th and Saint Clair avenues just after midnight on June 15 following reports of a shooting.
Columbus police located a 17-year-old girl who was shot once in the lower back. She was taken to Grant Medical Center in what police described as "stable" condition.
Court records say the teenager told police that she was approached by a man she knew as "Meechi" in a light-colored SUV. "Meechi" produced a handgun and fired six shots, striking the 17-year-old once.
Records say that the victim showed Brown's Instagram page to officers and later positively identified the suspect after being shown an array of photos.
Brown has been charged with one count of felonious assault and is expected to appear in Franklin County Municipal Court Saturday morning.
