Columbus police identify teen who died after early morning shooting on city's North Side
Ariyaun M. Burton, 17, and another male were found with gunshot wounds at about 4 a.m. Sunday, May 4, in a Toyota Rav4 SUV at the Sheetz on the 900 block of East Dublin-Granville Road (Route 161), Columbus police said. Officers rendered aid until Columbus Division of Fire medics arrived and transported the two victims to OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital.
Burton was pronounced dead at 4:38 a.m. at the hospital, police said in a news release several hours later. The other victim, whom police did not identify, was in stable condition and is expected to survive his injuries.
Police got a call at 3:58 a.m. on Sunday, May 4, about a shooting on the 900 block of East Lincoln Avenue near its eastern T dead-end with Roche Drive and Roche Place by the entrance to the Woodward Park Trail, just on the west side of Interstate 71.
A police dispatcher said the driver of a Toyota Rav4 SUV called 911 saying that he and his passenger had been shot and were fleeing the scene of the shooting. They were advised to drive into the Sheetz parking lot a short distance away to wait for first responders, who were also dispatched there.
Police investigating the shooting had placed at least 17 evidence markers around shell casings found in the street on East Lincoln near Roche, video footage from a local TV station at the scene showed.
At the Sheetz, the area around the Toyota SUV parked close to the convenience store was enclosed with crime scene tape. The rear window of the vehicle appeared to have been shot out. Police did not provide information about any suspects or what led up to the shooting in the release identifying Burton.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the Columbus police Homicide Unit at (614) 645-4730 (ask for Detectives Miller or Weiner) or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at (614) 461-TIPS (8477).

Man shot while attempting to break into McKeesport apartment
A man was shot overnight in McKeesport and police say the shooting happened while he was trying to break into someone's apartment. Allegheny County Police say that detectives from their Homicide Unit were called to McKeesport after a man was critically injured in a shooting. Police say the incident started around 1:30 a.m. on Monday when a domestic incident took place along Highland Avenue and a woman told police she was assaulted by her boyfriend. When officers were to the home to take the man into custody related to the assault, police say he refused to leave the home. When officers forced entry into the home, the man fled through a back window, police said. Police say the man then tried entering someone else's apartment by opening a window and when he climbed through that window, he was shot by someone in the apartment. The man who was shot was taken to the hospital in critical condition and Allegheny County Police detectives are now investigating. It's unclear what charges the man who was shot may face stemming from the assault or if the person who shot him will face any charges.

Aaron M. Sprecher/AP What To Know Police were called to the Motel 6 in the 12700 block of LBJ Freeway just after 5 a.m. on June 20 for reports of a shooting, according to the Garland Police Department. Officers found Morales with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died, Fox 4 reported. Four witnesses who arrived with Morales were interviewed at the scene. One woman told police she had been robbed earlier and that Morales began messaging the suspects while posing as a prostitute to set up a meeting at Motel 6, according to the arrest affidavit obtained by Fox 4. Surveillance footage shows a pickup carrying Morales arriving at the motel around 4:21 a.m., followed by a Toyota and a gray Acura, according to the outlet. Just after 5 a.m., Morales confronted a man from the Toyota, leading to a struggle. A second suspect arrived and shot Morales, while the third suspect, driving the Acura, pulled up to the scene before all three fled in the Acura and Toyota, Fox 4 reported. Morales was left motionless and bleeding. Two women from the pickup approached his body. One appeared to call 911. The first officer arrived at 5:19 a.m. and began first aid, according to Fox 4. Detectives later linked the incident to an earlier robbery that morning at the Deluxe Inn on Leon Road. Surveillance video showed the same Acura and Toyota from the Motel 6 scene, Fox 4 reported. A woman at the Deluxe Inn told police that two Hispanic men forced their way into her room, held her at gunpoint, sexually assaulted her, and stole money and jewelry before leaving, the outlet said. She later identified the men in the Motel 6 surveillance video as her attackers. Police then arrested Jimenez, Bellorin-Guzman and Trivino-Cruz, Fox 4 reported. Jimenez told investigators that the group had committed more than 25 robberies, often targeting sex workers, who they believed were unlikely to report the crimes. Trivino-Cruz said they had committed two additional robberies earlier that day, according to Fox 4. What People Are Saying Garland Police Department wrote on Facebook: "Investigators believe this to be an isolated incident and are actively working to determine the events leading up to the shooting." What Happens Next Authorities have not confirmed the countries of origin for the suspects. The investigation remains ongoing, according to the Garland Police Department.
