(CNN) -- A 19th
shooting in the Columbus, Ohio, area has been linked to a series of shootings
that have left one person dead, authorities said Wednesday. A bullet hit a car on the southern portion of Interstate 270
early Sunday that left fragments in the hood and cracked the windshield,
according to a statement from the Franklin County Sheriff's Department. The driver was not injured, and officials appealed for
anyone who may have seen something suspicious to contact authorities. To date, 19 shootings have been linked -- at least seven of
them through ballistics evidence. The others are considered part of the series
because of their similarities and location. The sole casualty in the shootings, which began in May, was
Gail Knisley, 62. She died after being struck November 25 as she rode in a car
on I-270. The sheriff's statement said more than 3,430 leads have been
called in to a tip line set up in the investigation. A $60,000 reward is being offered for information that leads
to an arrest and indictment in Knisley's murder. Jen -- |
