A Columbus man is behind bars for his alleged role in a Sunday shooting that sent one victim to the hospital.
Frederick Demoko Washington, 22, is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and nine counts of possession of a controlled substance with a weapon enhancement.
Columbus Police Department informed the public Tuesday that Washington was a wanted suspect in the Sunday evening shooting on 20th Street North, in which a victim suffered a single gunshot wound to the upper leg.
Public Information Officer Bryan Moore said Washington turned himself in to police Thursday.
A search warrant was executed Monday on Washington’s residence as a part of the investigation, Moore said. Police seized multiple firearms, cocaine, MDMA and more than three pounds of marijuana.
The investigation is still ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact CPD at (662) 244-3500 or Golden Triangle Crime Stoppers at (800) 530-7151.
