Columbus, Ohio – A woman was sentenced on Friday to a minimum of 15 years in prison for a fatal shooting that occurred in northeast Columbus in 2024, according to Franklin County court records.
The sentencing concludes a case that began with a shooting on the evening of November 21, 2024 and has been closely followed by the victim’s family. Family members expressed relief following the suspect’s arrest last year, according to reporting by NBC4.
The case is one of several recent shooting deaths in Columbus that have resulted in convictions in recent months. Earlier this month, three men were sentenced for their roles in the 2024 shooting death of a 13-year-old boy in North Linden, as reported by WSYX. A judge handed down the sentences after finding them involved in the incident, according to 10tv.com.
The 15-year minimum sentence for the woman convicted in the northeast Columbus shooting was handed down by a Franklin County judge. Details of the evidence presented at trial have not been immediately released.
Authorities have not released the name of the victim in the northeast Columbus shooting. The sentences for the three men involved in the death of the 13-year-old have similarly not been publicly detailed beyond the minimum terms.
The Franklin County Prosecutor’s Office has not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the sentencing or potential appeals in the northeast Columbus case.
