COLUMBUS, Ohio — Columbus police have released aerial video showing the capture of a 22-year-old man accused in the fatal shooting of a 27-year-old man on the city’s west side, ending a nearly 30-minute multi-jurisdiction pursuit in Fairfield County, the department said.
Officers were sent Sept. 29 to the 100 block of North Burgess Avenue, where they found Ryan Ward, 27, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, the Columbus Division of Police said. Ward was later pronounced dead at an area hospital.
Investigators identified David Estrada, 22, as the suspect, police said. Estrada fled in a silver Honda and led officers on a pursuit of nearly 30 minutes, police said, before the car crashed on U.S. Route 33 near Sugar Grove.
A police aircraft spotted Estrada walking through a neighboring field, and officers on the ground moved in to arrest him, according to the department. The department thanked the Ohio State Highway Patrol and the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance.
