COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Four juveniles have been charged with murder after an alleged robbery turned into a shooting in east Columbus.

According to Columbus police, two boys, ages 12 and 15, were arrested on May 2 and charged with the murder of 34-year-old Jamal Jones, who was found shot at The Villages at Eden Crossing apartment complex in the Shady Lane neighborhood.

Officers arrived at the residence in the 1300 block of Fountain Lane just before 4 a.m. on April 28 and Columbus Fire medics took Jones to a hospital. He was pronounced dead at 4:38 a.m.

Detectives interviewed four individuals in the suspected involvement in Jones’ murder and the robbery of Jones and another victim. Charges were filed against the two juveniles while two female juveniles were interviewed and released.

On Tuesday, the two female teenagers — 15 and 17 years old — were arrested for their involvement, police said. They are being held at the Franklin County Juvenile Detention Center.

All four are charged with aggravated murder, murder and aggravated robbery. The two teenage girls appeared in juvenile court Wednesday for a preliminary hearing. The girls’ parents asked that the suspects be released into their custody, but a judge turned down the request, remanding the teens to juvenile detention.

Lashawna Williams, Jamal Jones’ sister, said losing her brother has been incredibly tough on the family, imagining her life without Jamal, but she plans on keeping his memory alive.

“He was a beautiful person inside and out, and I just want the world to know who he is, who he was, who he still is to us,” Williams said. “He might not be here in a flash, but he’s here in spirit. I feel him every day.”

The two juvenile boys are scheduled to appear for a hearing on May 14.

CPD is asking anyone with information regarding this incident to call the Homicide Unit at (614) 645-4730 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at (614) 461-TIPS (8477).
