The Columbus Update

But we start today with a familiar theme, juvenile crime, this time not visited upon juveniles, but, um, committed by juveniles.

Two 14-year-olds and a 15-year-old are behind bars today because they are accused of murdering 53-year-old Cedric Cole about 10 days ago, October the 6th.

Mr. Cole was walking near Sullivant Avenue and Clarendon Lane, uh, in the early evening hours, 8:00 PM, when he apparently got into an argument with Jyzair Williams and Jesus Antonio Lopez, who are both 14 years old, and 15-year-old Venara Nou.

Now, you won't find their names in The Dispatch.

Of course not, because they're juveniles and they must be protected even though they were arrested for murder.

But thankfully, you do find their names, uh, on the 10TV website, and I believe another television station in town is also reporting, uh, that as well.

Uh, they just got in an argument with Mr. Cole, we don't know why, and they shot him, and they killed him.

And 10TV also doing, uh, extra work visiting with the mom of Cedric Cole.

Her name is Gloria Steele.

We don't often hear from the victims' families, but we should, because I think that's what brings it home, is how nonsensical this is, how heinous this is, and how painful it is for the families who have to suffer this kind of shock, this kind of loss, this kind of grief out of nowhere.
