COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Division of Police arrested a suspect charged with murder in the shooting death of a man on the city's southeast side.
Officers were called to the 2400 block of Kimberly Parkway for an unknown complaint on Jan. 28.
When officers arrived, they found a man unresponsive in a vehicle. Police said the man, identified as 23-year-old Deangelo Williams Jr., had crashed into several vehicles. Upon further investigation, officers found he had been shot. He died at a hospital the next day.
According to court documents, detectives learned 22-year-old Leon Mason was in the vehicle with Williams and shot him.
Court documents say video of the shooting identified a suspect matching the physical size of Mason, but was not able to see his face. Mason told investigators he was at his home in Whitehall. Court documents say cellphone records show movement of his phone consistent with driving to the scene, being at the scene at the time of the shooting and driving away back to his residence after the shooting.
Video footage also shows a white Ford Mustang, later determined to be owned by a friend of Mason, driving away without lights on. The video is consistent with the times of Mason's phone, records say.
Mason has been charged with murder and felonious assault.
