Columbus police name victim of officer-involved shooting

Columbus police have now identified the man killed by an officer Tuesday at an apartment complex on the North side. Police say 21-year-old Destin Thomas was killed by officer William Kaufman after Thomas ran outside of the building. Police initially thought Thomas might have been shot inside of his apartment during a robbery attempt. Four Columbus police officers have fired on people in the last four days.
