One Ohio woman is dead and two others are injured after a shooting during a fight early Sunday near an east Columbus bar, according to police.
According to a Columbus police dispatcher, officers were sent to the Pelican Club East on the 5500 block of East Livingston Avenue after receiving a call at 4:32 a.m. reporting a shooting.
When officers arrived, they found 30-year-old Shamira Rhodes dead at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds and a 17-year-old girl who was also shot. The teenager was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
