Despite Inauguration, Crime Infests City

Concerning the serial rapist, this development is disturbing. If Columbus police have the wrong man, I cannot imagine the level of fear that will grip this city… Concerning numbers twenty-nine and thirty, can’t anyone walk to class or live in their home without fear?

10 TV: Police said that DNA test results were inconclusive and have not linked an accused robber to a series of attacks believed to have been committed by a serial rapist. The man is a registered sex offender and has been in jail since Dec. 13 when officers said he robbed a Westerville tanning salon. No other information was released by police on Tuesday.

10 TV: Police said that a woman reported being assaulted by another woman during a Monday night robbery attempt near the Ohio State campus. The crime occurred at about 8:10 p.m. near the corner of West 10th Avenue and Highland Street, police said. No other details were made available about the attempt, but police called it unsuccessful. The suspect is described as a black woman whose hair was pulled into a pony tail. She was wearing dark baggy pants, a baggy shirt and a dark coat with a cartoon-type figure on the rear. Anyone with information is asked to contact either Columbus Police at 614-645-4545 or University Police at 614-292-2121. Information may be reported anonymously to Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-645-8477 or the University Crime Stoppers Tips line at 614-247-8477.

10 TV: A man was being questioned Tuesday in connection with a Far West side shooting that left a woman dead, police said. The shooting occurred shortly before noon at an apartment on Sophia Court, located near Norton and Alkire roads… Initial reports indicated that a woman was shot in the chest by a man wearing a mask. The woman, whose name was not released by police, was transported to a hospital where she later died.
