COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — An Ohio man who was wanted in connection with a Toledo teen’s death was shot Tuesday morning by a SWAT officer in the Victorian Village neighborhood in north Columbus, according to police.

The shooting happened in the area of Dennison Avenue and West 2nd Avenue.

Lt. Brian Steel, president of the local police officer’s union, said the suspect was wanted in connection with the homicide of a 13-year-old out of Toledo, and called it “one of the most horrific cases I ever heard.”

Steel said the 13-year-old was murdered, raped, and had her hands cut off.

“This is an absolute animal that came into our town,” Steel said.

Police said they had been watching Jones for at least two days.

The 13-year-old, identified by police as Keimani Latigue, was reported missing on March 18. Her body was found in an abandoned house on Monday. Her father, Darnell Jones, was initially charged with abduction, but has since been charged with murder.

“You murder somebody, do not come to this town,” Steel said.

Jones, 33, had a gun and was shot by SWAT officers, police said. The officer involved in the shooting reportedly fired multiple times at Jones, though it is unclear if Jones returned fire.

Five shots can be heard in surveillance video obtained by NBC4.

Jones was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive after a “lengthy surgery”. He is in what was described as “stable” condition. Police said that a car that may be connected to the case was towed from the scene.

“You pull a gun at officers, as we’ve said many times, this is the outcome you could expect,” Steel said.

People who live in the area said they were shocked to see this happen.

“I don’t usually typically hear gunfire down here,” Don Russell said. “So, you know, I moved down here about a little over a year ago, and this is the first, probably, big incident.”

No officers were injured and there is no threat to the public, according to Sgt. James Fuqua.

“When I heard about this case — this was an individual wanted for homicide out of Toledo — I called my union counterpart in Toledo. I said, ‘Hey, good news. We have your guy,'” Steel said.

Jones, who is charged with murder, felonious assault and abduction out of Lucas County, was the last person to see the teen before she went missing, according to a criminal complaint. He reportedly gave inconsistent statements “about his activity with the victim, and their whereabouts.”

Police continue to investigate why Jones was in the area and what connections he has to Columbus.

“I would like to extend gratitude to the officers of the Toledo and Columbus Police Departments for their hard work and dedication in getting justice for Keimani,” Toledo Police Chief Michael Troendle said in a statement.
