COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Police have arrested two suspects in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred one week ago just east of Downtown, Columbus.
Giavon Hayes, 19, was arrested Tuesday by Columbus police and Mi’Shawn Thomas, 18, was placed in custody Thursday by Reynoldsburg police. Both suspects were taken to Franklin County Jail and faces murder charges.

On Thursday, Hayes was issued a $1 million bond in Franklin County Municipal Court, while Thomas has yet to appear in court.
Police have not said what may have led to the shooting but ask that anyone with information regarding the incident to call the Homicide Unit at 614-645-4730 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-8477.
