COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Division of Police has identified the victim of a fatal shooting that occurred early Friday morning on the city’s west side as 29-year-old Ra’Quawan Kilgore.
Officers responded to a reported shooting in the 300 block of South Guilford Avenue just before 6:00 a.m. on Friday, where they found Kilgore suffering from a gunshot wound.
He was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition but later succumbed to his injuries at approximately 5:00 p.m. the same day.
Authorities confirmed that an adult female was arrested at the scene.
According to police, the woman identified herself as the shooter and immediately informed officers that the incident stemmed from a confrontation with Kilgore.
She has not been publicly named, as the investigation remains ongoing and she has claimed the shooting was in self-defense.
Preliminary findings suggest the incident may be related to domestic violence. Investigators say the woman told detectives that she shot Kilgore after he allegedly threatened her.
She is reportedly cooperating fully with authorities as the case continues to be reviewed.
