COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A man killed in a Thursday shooting was attacked by several suspects, according to local deputies.  

Just before 7:30 p.m., deputies with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Cross-Key apartments, in the 4000 block of Chatterton Road, on a 911 call of shots fired in the area. They found Christopher Roberts, 21, lying in the stairwell of the apartment building, suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper body. Roberts was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.  

After investigating, deputies concluded that Roberts had been in the rear of a drive-through liquor store off Noe-Bixby Road when four or five male suspects ambushed and shot him. Robert then ran to the apartment complex where he collapsed.
