COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – The second of two victims from a fatal shooting at a candlelight vigil in east Columbus has been identified.

According to the Franklin County Coroner’s Office, 18-year-old Jakwaun Kimbro was gunned down just before 10 p.m. at Krumm Park on Alton Avenue, where a candlelight vigil was being held for another shooting victim.

Kimbro and Lonnie Johnston, 29, were both pronounced dead minutes after the shooting occurred at 9:54 p.m. The coroner’s office did not release the name of Kimbro as of June 6, as it did for Johnston, because it had only “tentatively identified” him. It added that once the second victim was positively identified, their name would be released as well.

Police identified two persons of interest in connection to the double murder, though no arrests have been made. Surveillance images released by Columbus police of the two people of interest are below.

Columbus Police Sgt. Joseph Albert said the vigil being held at the time of the shooting was for Da’Mya Cummerlander, who was shot and killed in the early hours of June 2 in the 2600 block of Woodsedge Road. Albert noted at least 50 people, possibly more, were at the scene when officers arrived.

Columbus police have since arrested Kenneth Hariston, 20, in connection with Cummerlander’s death. While Deputy Chief Smith Weir said investigators have been reviewing footage from the vigil shooting, they have not named a suspect in that case.
