police shooting

Authorities say a 24-year-old suspect was found dead in a Shaker Heights home Sunday after a standoff with several law enforcement agencies.

Summit County Prosecutor Elliot Kolkovich requested the charge against Tavion Koonce-Williams be dropped. Koonce-Williams was charged for carrying a fake gun.

A coroner’s report released Thursday said Columbus police shot Colin Jennings, 26, three times outside Creekside Place Apartments on Feb. 22.

The Community Housing Network said it will provide addresses to Columbus police for places that may require an emergency response from the city's alternative crisis response teams.

Columbus police say they shot and killed 26-year-old Colin Jennings at Creekside Apartments last week after Jennings brandished a knife and told police to shoot him.

A Columbus police spokeswoman said the man came toward officers with a knife raised and would not stop.

Meade recently stood trial on charges of murder and reckless homicide in the Dec. 2020 shooting death of Casey Goodson Jr.

If Jason Meade is retried, it won't be until after June. Special prosecutors and Meade's defense attorney Mark Collins agreed to hold a status conference June 6, according to Franklin County Common Pleas Court records.

Before the first mistrial was declared, Judge David Young said the jurors were asking a question on whether or not they can return a verdict of "yes" on one count that Meade was justified in shooting Casey Goodson Jr. in December 2020 and that he was not justified on another count.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys gave their closing arguments in the Jason Meade trial Wednesday. Meade is charged with murder and reckless homicide in the Dec. 2020 shooting death of Casey Goodson Jr.
