Columbus Murder Suspect Arrested In West Virginia

Columbus Division of Police

The U.S. Marshals Service says a Columbus man wanted in connection with the 2017 shooting death of his girlfriend’s father was arrested Tuesday in Wheeling, West Virginia. 

Extradition is pending for 20-year-old Jordyn Preston, who failed to show up in court after his indictment. Preston is charged with killing 54-year-old Van Johnson at the victim's Ottawa Drive home following an argument. 

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.
