COLUMBUS – Two men were arrested after a brief standoff with police Thursday and charged with murder in the shooting death of a man on the Hilltop earlier this week.
Hakeem Johnston, 24, of the Northeast Side, and Devante Harris, 22, whose address was not given, held SWAT officers at bay for a short time at approximately 4:00 p.m. when police came to arrest the two in a home at 2818 E. 10th Avenue, homicide investigators said.
The two were taken to the Franklin County Jail to await arraignment on murder charges in the death of Laquam Gratsy, who was found shot to death inside a home on Ogden Avenue Monday.
Police say the case remains under investigation.
