COLUMBUS: Columbus police say they are still looking for the person who fatally shot a 15-year-old boy during an after-school fight involving a large group of students.
Police said ninth-grader Kaewaun Coleman was pronounced dead at a hospital soon after the 3 p.m. Thursday shooting. It happened soon after a group of students left a nearby high school together and an altercation began near a McDonald’s restaurant where police found the injured teen.
Police said 50 or so teens from nearby Linden-McKinley High School were involved. They are interviewing students and other people who might have witnessed the incident.
