A deadly shooting happened after a fight over tobacco, court documents allege.
myfox28columbus.comI don’t have real-time access to live updates right now, but I can share the latest publicly reported information I found about Ladarius Alexander and related Ohio coverage.
- Reports in April 2026 indicated Ladarius D. Alexander, 35, was charged with murder in Franklin County (Columbus area) after the death of 36-year-old De’Kevin Louis, with police tying the incident to a dispute over tobacco and a fight involving a “black and mild”. These articles note that Alexander had been identified as a person of interest earlier, then later charged and jailed.[1][2][3]
- An official Columbus city press release from April 2026 confirms Alexander’s detention and murder charge, noting subsequent interviews and updates in the investigation.[4]
If you’d like, I can search for more recent developments or read full articles from specific outlets (e.g., local Columbus stations or court records) and summarize any new court filings, arraignment dates, or trial status. I can also provide a quick timeline or help you track ongoing updates.
Would you like me to pull the latest updates from additional sources or focus on a particular aspect (charges, case status, or court dates)?
