Angie Plummer with Community Refugee and Immigration Services (CRIS) says there are two families involved, one of them refugees from the African country of Eritrea. Her agency helped them relocate to Columbus in June of 2017.
“And there is another family unit that had moved in with them, and as I understand it, it’s the estranged husband or ex-husband had come and attacked the family in the home,” Plummer said.
The mother (Alganesh Gebrezgabiher, a 51-year-old female), and her four children had lived for years in a refugee camp. Alganesh is in life-threatening condition at Riverside Methodist Hospital.
Columbus Police say they shot and killed the man( Abadi Gebregziber, 64) who stabbed the four people, killing three of them.
Police found the body of a 19-year-old man( Russom Habte, who had been stabbed to death on Fitzroy Drive.Police say the suspect had stabbed three women, killing two of them(Selam Habte, 18, and Azeb Demewez, 33).
Police say the violence was the result of a domestic dispute between an estranged couple. Officers confronted and killed the suspect, who they say was still holding a butcher knife.
“To think those children have lost a parent or an aunt or uncle is just horrible,” said neighbor Tony Layton. “You don’t want any child to have to go through something like that.”
Columbus Police identify the officer who shot and killed the suspect as Sgt. Gregg Seevers, a 21-year veteran of the Columbus Division of Police.
