COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Three people who were captured on video surveillance running toward a South Linden home firing shots, one of which struck and killed a woman, remain at large and wanted by Columbus police.

Three years ago this past July, officers responded to reports of shots fired in the 2000 block of Grasemere Avenue. Superia Wilson, who had recently given birth, was sitting on the porch with her boyfriend on the evening of July 16, 2021, when three people reportedly pulled in front of the home in a black Ford Fusion.

The three people got out of the vehicle and ran toward the apartment. Wilson and her boyfriend fled inside while the suspects opened fire.

Wilson, 31, was struck by one of the shots, and she was later pronounced dead at a hospital. The newborn child was nearly struck by a bullet but avoided injury, police said.

The suspects, who were captured on video surveillance, drove away. One person was arrested in February 2023, but the case was dismissed in Franklin County Municipal Court.

Police ask that anyone with information on the suspects or the incident to call Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-8477 or visit www.stopcrime.org and e-mail your tip.
