Two males have been taken into custody and charged by the Columbus Division of Police in relation to the gunshot death that occurred in the Mount Vernon neighborhood last week.

Both 18-year-old Mi Shawn Thomas and 19-year-old Giavon Hayes are accused of killing 18-year-old Darnell Brown-Jones.

The shooting took place at approximately 10:30 p.m. on November 14. Reports of gunfire in the 900 block of Eton Grove, close to I-670, prompted officers to arrive.

Brown-Jones was declared dead at 10:38 p.m. after being discovered with a gunshot wound.

Investigators believe that the shooting may have been motivated by robbery.

Hayes was detained by Columbus police on Tuesday, and Thomas was taken into jail by Reynoldsburg police on Thursday.

Anyone with information regarding the case is urged to call Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-8477, Detective Egelhoff at 614-645-4075, or the Columbus Police Homicide Unit at 614-645-4730, according to the authorities.
