homicides

Columbus police are investigating whether a weekend triple homicide on South Ohio Avenue on the city's south side and another homicide that happened last week on East Moler Street are connected.

Police said the deaths were considered homicides, but did not have further details.

The rate of U.S. gun homicides jumped nearly 35% in 2020 to the highest level in more than 25 years. And gaps widened for groups already at the highest risk, especially Black men and boys.

Homicides in the U.S. are way up and the trend is playing out in Central Ohio and the number of young people involved in the spike in violence, both as perpetrators and victims, is also on the rise.
