A resident of the neighborhood said he doesn’t feel particularly safe living there.

“It’s honestly just concerning at this point, knowing I live in this environment,” Le Marie Court resident Dolf Ramos said. “It’s just very scary knowing that I’m dealing with it and I sleep here every night, and I just don’t know what to think at this point.”

This was the first of two shootings involving young people Tuesday in the city. At approximately 10:10 p.m., two juveniles were injured in a shooting on the 400 block of Knob Hill Court East on the west side of Columbus. Both victims were listed in stable condition, and that shooting is under investigation, according to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office.
