A terrible tragedy occurred in Columbus, Ohio, when a Ghanaian man shot his wife, gravely injuring her, and then took his own life. The incident, which started as a domestic violence quarrel, has shocked the neighborhood.
Fox 28 reported that the neighbors had always gotten along well and that there had been no indications of conflict. This makes the story all the more tragic. The episode, according to Michael Montgomery, the neighbor next door, was "very, very shocking."
Police in Columbus, Ohio, were notified of a domestic violence incident on Glendon Road at about 10:36 p.m. But as police arrived, the situation quickly deteriorated into a deadly shooting.
Upon arrival, the police discovered that 49-year-old Kwabena Michael Amoako had tragically lost his life. The 50-year-old woman, identified as Yaa Gyamfua, his wife, had sustained gunshot wounds and was rushed to Riverside Methodist Hospital in critical condition.
Their neighbor recounted how he learned about the gunfire when the couple's three young sons knocked on his door seeking help.
"The 16-year-old said they were arguing, they heard two bangs, ran out the door, and came over here," Montgomery is quoted by Fox 28.
"They heard the shooting, and dad wouldn't let them back in the house, so they came knocking on the door," the neighbor added.
The couple, who had been living in the home for nearly a decade, were known for their active involvement in the Ghanaian community in Columbus.
Montgomery expressed his regret, wishing he could have done something to prevent the tragedy. He emphasized that there were no apparent signs of such violence within the family.
Preliminary investigations conducted by the police revealed that Amoako had shot his wife before taking his own life. Due to the severity of the woman's injuries, the Columbus Police Homicide Unit has taken charge of the investigation.
