COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- A 28-year-old man has been arrested and charged in the shooting death of a woman Tuesday morning in north Columbus. Police said officers went to the 100 block of Chittenden Avenue in the University District just before 7:30 a.m. on a disturbance call. Officers found Gage Smith, who police said was in emotional distress, and then found 32-year-old Autumn Ward inside an apartment unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head. Pig may have contributed to Pataskala woman’s death, police say Ward was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:49 a.m. Columbus police's preliminary investigation revealed that Smith allegedly shot Ward in a domestic violence-related incident. Court documents revealed he told police he was responsible for her death. Smith was arrested and charged with murder. He is scheduled to appear in Franklin County municipal court for an arraignment hearing Wednesday morning.
