Two Suspects In Weinland Park Shooting Now In Custody

Columbus Division of Police

Two suspects in a shooting in a Columbus park last August are now in custody.  

26-year-old Keveante Smoot was arrested last week. 38-year-old Cornelius Allen turned himself in Friday. Both face federal firearms charges. Police say their DNA was  recovered from the guns used in the shooting that injured one of the suspects, another man and two children. Police say the shooting at a Short North Reunion at Weinland Park was gang-related. A 5-year-old girl and a 10-year-old girl were injured.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
