Grandview Heights police searching for person of interest wanted in beating death of man

According to Grandview police, a woman was taken into custody in the Hilltop neighborhood on Tuesday.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Police released the name and photos of a man who is a person of interest in the death of a Grandview Heights man.

Last week, Grandview officers and medics received a call about an unconscious man found near the train tracks on West Fifth Avenue, just east of Dublin Road. The man, identified as 57-year-old Stephen Albright was suffering from severe head injuries and taken to a hospital in critical condition. He died on Friday.   

Police were conducting surveillance in the area of South Columbian Avenue in the Hilltop neighborhood when a female person of interest was taken into custody. Authorities are not naming her at this time.

A SWAT team also executed a search warranted at a home on South Columbian Avenue in connection to the incident. Police did not report what they found, if anything.

Police are asking for the public's help in finding 33-year-old Jacob Laurance. He may be in the Hilltop or Franklinton neighborhoods on the city's west side. 

Laurance is believed to be armed and dangerous. Anyone who sees him should not approach and is advised to call 911 instead.
