CDP Identifies Alleged Robber Who Died Following Confrontation With Bystanders

Columbus police have identified the suspected robber who died Sunday after a struggle with a group of male bystanders who chased him down.  

Police say the bystanders pursued 23-year-old Kevin West after seeing him rob a woman at a Cassady Avenue gas station. He was found critically injured in the parking lot of a nearby hotel. He died at a local hospital. Authorities did not specify the nature of West's injuries. It remain unclear if criminal charges will be filed. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
