BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY — An Edinburgh man has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting late Thanksgiving Day, officials say.
Damion Bryant, 20, is charged with a single count of murder, according to court records.
Bartholomew County Sheriff's deputies began their investigation about 6:13 p.m. Thursday while responding to a report of a shooting in the 15000 block of North Bluff Road. It was there they found a male suffering a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Medics at the scene provided aid to the victim and he was transported to Columbus Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
