COLUMBUS, OH – The Columbus Police Department is seeking to identify a vehicle that was operated by a gunman who shot a man outside a North High Street bar on Valentine’s Day.

“On February 14, 2022, at 11:14 pm, Columbus Police Patrol Officers were dispatched to the area of 2400 N.

The shot was fired from outside into this location. The victim was transported to a local hospital in serious condition.”
