Following a fatal shooting on the 4100 block of Blakewell Lane, Columbus homicide detectives have actively been closing the net around those believed to be responsible for the loss of two lives. According to an official statement from the Columbus Division of Police, Abdou Seye, a 33-year-old male, has been charged with two counts of murder related to the incident. Yesterday, Seye was apprehended by agents with SOFAST and the US Marshals in Detroit, Michigan, and is currently waiting for extradition at the Wayne County Jail.
This case, which saw one victim dead at the scene and another die shortly after at a local hospital, has also seen 32-year-old Brandon M. Colbert charged with two counts of murder. Arrested and presently held at the Franklin County Jail, Colbert's connection to the crime came to light mere days after the event. These rapid developments follow the initial emergency call made last Wednesday, at precisely 4:36 pm, when patrol officers were swiftly dispatched to the scene of the shooting.
The Columbus Police's Homicide Unit has been diligently investigating the case to untangle the circumstances that led to such a tragic outcome. Detective Niederkohr, leading the probe, with assistance from Detective Soviak, is urging anyone harboring information regarding this incident to contact the Columbus Police Homicide Unit at (614) 645-4730 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at (614) 461-TIPS (8477).
