According to 10TV

“A shooting on the south side happened just one hour after Columbus Police Chief Kim Jacobs put out a call for peace this holiday season.

After Chief Jacobs addressed the city’s high homicide rate, someone shot and killed 29-year-old Brandon D. Meeks inside a home on Barthman Avenue.

“Words can’t describe what’s going through my mind right now,” neighbor Marie Byrd said.

Sick and tired of looking at yellow tape, neighbors like Marie Byrd can only shake their heads and pray for another family who’s lost a loved one.”

The city of Columbus is working around the clock to solve its 130th homicide. Do you feel safe? What needs to happen to stop the violence?
