Police name suspect in Ohio highway shootings
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Authorities identified a suspect Monday in a series of highway shootings around the city and are asking for help finding the man.
The Franklin County Sheriff's Office said Charles A. McCoy Jr., 28, should be considered armed and dangerous. Investigators did not provide a hometown.
"We do not have any warrants for his arrest right now," Chief Deputy Steve Martin said. "It is unfolding as we speak."
The shootings at vehicles and buildings started in May, although most have been since October. The most recent was on Feb. 14.
Martin would not say what evidence led investigators to McCoy. He said the shootings task force don't know where McCoy is.
"I don't know if he's still local," he said. "We don't have any reason to believe he's not."
In the last shooting and two the previous weeks, witnesses described seeing someone aiming at them while standing next to a car. Both the description and car are similar to what the sheriff's office released Monday: a 5-foot-8-inch, 185-pound white male with brown hair and green eyes.
McCoy drives a four-door, dark green 1999 Geo Metro with a black hood, the sheriff's office said. The Ohio license tag is CGV7387.
