COLUMBUS – Columbus police have released the name of a 25-year-old man shot and killed following a confrontation with officers on the Hilltop Saturday night.
Steven Reed, 25, was shot by Ofc. Nathan Schwind, an 11-year veteran of the division, around 9:30 p.m. Saturday following a domestic-violence complaint at an Eldon Avenue home, spokesman Sgt. Dean Worthington said.
Officers responding to the scene were told the suspect had fled the scene. Authorities found Reed about a mile-and-a-half away on Letchworth Avenue where Worthington says a confrontation ensued and Schwind shot Reed, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation continues, Worthington said.
