Boy, 17, identified as victim of fatal east Columbus party shooting
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Columbus police identified the teenager that was killed in a shooting at a Fourth of July party at an east side short-term rental house. Columbus police said that officers were called to the 800 block of Wilson Avenue in the Southern Orchards area at 2:41 a.m. Friday. An altercation occurred during a 'pop-up' party at the residence which led to multiple shots being fired and six people sustaining injuries. Three were taken to local hospitals by medics and one of those victims, identified as 17-year-old Cameron Moore, died at the hospital. The three other victims who were shot walked into a hospital for treatment. Of the six victims of the shooting, two were juveniles and four were adults. Two injured after motorcycle crashes into dollhouse near New Albany 'July 4 will never be the same, number 41, will never be the same,' Mothers of Murdered Columbus Children founder Malissa Thomas-St. Clair said. 'Why? Because he's the 41st homicide of Columbus, Ohio. These numbers start to be the story in the fabric of the ending of a soul.' She knows first-hand the pain of losing a child to gun violence, and she wants Moore's family to know that they aren't alone. 'You are so supportive, and we're praying for you,' Thomas-St. Clair said. 'The community is going to wrap their arms around you and try their best to get help, for your justice. There will be a time, there will be a time when life gets a little different. I don't want to say better, but a little different, where two steps can be in front of you and just continue to be at the peace that Cameron is going to be with Him forever.' At the house where the shooting happened, police tape and articles of clothing remain. City leaders, including Mayor Andrew Ginther and Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin, took to social media in the hours after the shooting. New route debuts at Columbus Zoo's second Run Wild 5K Hardin said, in part, 'This kind of violence never has a place in our city, yet it keeps happening.' 'While violence in our city is at its lowest level in more than a decade, incidents like this are a stark reminder that we must stay vigilant in preventing harm to our youth and neighbors,' Ginther said in his statement. 'We are very optimistic with the work that's being done, but we know we can't stop, you know, sustainability is really important, and yes, under triple digits is where we want to be again,' Thomas-St. Clair said. The Southern Orchards Civic Association, a group in the neighborhood where the shooting happened, also took to social media, calling for unity in their community. In a Sunday statement, police said that the party had more than 100 people and that most of them were teenagers. CPD is asking for public assistance in continuing to investigate this shooting.

Nonprofit group aims to curb teenage gun violence after Fourth of July shooting
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Some community leaders are trying to find ways to prevent gun violence throughout Columbus. It comes after a shooting on the Fourth of July that left a 17-year-old dead and five others hurt during a party. The nonprofit 'Ours Brothers Keepers' is reeling from the impact of the shooting, and some are asking what can be done to help steer younger people on a different path. 'The effect is real, real hard, especially when you're dealing with that type of age group, and you know what they are going through,' said Wesley Moore, OBK Co-founder. 'It was very sad, you know, that here, especially as a young teen. Intel reportedly considering major strategy change in manufacturers like Ohio plant The main goal of the group is to help young men learn necessary life skills and keep them off the path of violence. Cameron Moore, 17, was the victim of the east side shooting at a pop-up party. 'A lot of these kids are in survival mode right now,' Moore said. 'So, they are looking for an opportunity to make some money. And, you know, guns are their way…Trying to rob somebody, you know. So, we try to get them to put their guns down and earn a check. So they're not worried much about putting guns in there hands.' The OBK program offers shelter, mental health assessments, and community engagement. The teens sometimes cut the grass for seniors in the neighborhood and make a small profit. Moore says emphasizing structure and consistency while making sure the teens feel safe has helped even those who weren't completely on board. 'We had some of the most violent people come to our program,' Moore said. 'After they get around some of the positive youth and understand that they got a place where they can call home, a safe haven and get an opportunity to learn some life training skills, to make some money, they pull other youth in.' The group also noted they have expanded their program to now serve 20 young women. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Columbus police warned partygoers hours before fatal mass shooting, mayor says
Columbus police gave partygoers at a short-term rental property a warning hours before a Fourth of July shooting that left a teenage boy dead and five others injured, officials said at a press conference. Cameron Moore, 17, died in the shooting that happened about 2:40 a.m. at a home in the 800 block of Wilson Avenue. Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther and police officials confirmed at a July 7 press conference that police visited the home about 1 a.m. Police made no arrests and issued no citations during their initial visit. Assistant Chief Nicholas Konves stated that police responded to at least 20 calls for large-scale parties that morning. "Upon arrival, there were folks outside the party," Konves said. "There was clearly loud music going on inside the residence there. That is a very common call we get." The mayor and police also released no details about a possible shooter or suspect, while stressing that the shooting wasn't random, and the public has no cause for concern. Initial police reports estimated some 100 attendees at the party. Officers who made initial contact with partygoers issued a warning, telling them to shut the music down and keep the street clear, Konves said. He declined to say whether police witnessed any drug use or underage drinking during their initial visit to the party. Then at 2:40 a.m., Columbus police received a call to the address to investigate a report of a shooting that injured several people. Six people, including two teenagers, were shot, police said. Paramedics took Moore to OhioHealth Grant Hospital in critical condition, where he later died. The other five people had injuries that were not life-threatening, police dispatchers said. The mayor stressed that the shootings were not random and happened as a result of conflicts between people who already knew each other. Columbus investigators have also asked anyone with video or photo evidence from the party to upload it online. Konves declined to say whether the owner of the short-term rental might face citations or whether police have been called to the address before, citing the ongoing investigation. The owners listed on property records have not responded to phone calls from the Dispatch seeking comment. Ginther said the city would consider asking the city council to take legislative action to address concerns with short-term rental companies, such as Airbnb and Vrbo, and other services, although he didn't specify what those laws might look like. Ohio Republicans have previously sought to create limitations on how local governments can regulate short-term rentals. Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin issued a statement saying the city intends to take a fresh look at how to regulate short-term rentals. 'Council spearheaded regulation of short-term rentals in the past and I would support updating those rules to crack down on party houses," Hardin said in a July 7 statement issued by his office. "But that is just the start – everything should be on the table to fight for safety and preserve quality of life as we become a big city. I also want to take a hard look at how we police entertainment districts and commercial centers, manage large-scale events and festivals, and intervene with juvenile offenders and young people.' Moore's death was the first of two homicides that happened over the Independence Day weekend. Police received a call at 1:30 a.m. July 5 about a shooting in the 1500 block of West Broad Street. Shaunquan Walker, 32, suffered a fatal gunshot wound and died after paramedics took him to an undisclosed hospital. Columbus police have not announced any arrests as of July 7, and much like the July 4 shooting that killed Moore, police said there was no ongoing threat to the general public, and the West Broad Street shooting involved people who knew each other. Ginther and Konves used the July 7 press conference to tout the city's low homicide numbers and declining number of shootings. Ginther said the shooting happened just three hours after the "all clear" at the end of Red, White and BOOM!, which brought thousands of people to downtown Columbus. The event saw little in the way of major crime or police activity. Ginther and police officials also said homicides remain down overall in 2025 in Columbus. As of July 7, there have been 42 homicides reported in Columbus this year, down from 58 in 2024 and 84 in 2023. And Deputy Chief Justin Coleman said that Columbus police's 78% solve rate is above the national average, which hovers around 50%. Police leaders and Ginther urged community members to continue sending in tips. Coleman said investigators were diligently reviewing evidence people had provided and "hope to have positive outcomes on all the incidents." "This is not how we solve conflict," Ginther said. "This is how cowards solve conflict…I know you are exhausted with these events. I share your frustration."
