ABC 6 ON Your Side Investigator Story Of The Day
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- While Columbus appears to be headed for a dubious record surpassing 2009's homicide count, another troubling trend is also emerging: the age of homicide victims is getting younger.
Already in 2010, 23 of the 82 homicide victims in Columbus are under the age of 20. That's more than one in every four.
Angleo Douthitt, 20, said his family moved to Columbus a short time ago to escape the violent streets of Cleveland. He said he considered himself lucky.
"I ain't been shot, stabbed, nothing, none of that," he said. Even the street that Douthitt rides on is the scene of a homicide this year. Shootings, he says, are just a way of life.
"You know, like everywhere I go, I got to watch everybody, everybody that move," he said, "If I'm talking to you, got to look around like, 'Who's that?,' make sure they see my face, I see their face."
