A murder case against a man in connection to a fatal west Columbus shooting in June will be presented to a grand jury, according to the Franklin County Prosecutor's Office.

Officers were called to the 600 block of Wedgewood Drive on a report of gunshots around 10:45 p.m. on June 12.

After searching the area, police found 22-year-old George Miguel shot and unresponsive just east of Wedgewood Drive in the 600 block of Kingsford Road.

Joshua Polk, 26, was initially charged with murder but it was dismissed in Franklin County Municipal Court at the request of the prosecutor in order to present the case to a grand jury for consideration.

A spokesperson with the prosecutor's office said the case is still under investigation and evidence is still being reviewed.

Polk is still in custody on a probation violation, according to jail records.
