COLUMBUS, Ohio — While several people held a vigil in southeast Columbus Saturday night, an unknown suspect opened fire, killing one person and injuring five others, according to law enforcement officials. 

One victim was found inside a car at the scene and declared dead at 7:50 p.m., and four of the people injured were taken to nearby hospitals after what appeared to be a drive-by shooting in a parking lot of shopping plaza in Truro Township southeast side of the city, according to officials.

They are in stable condition. Another person sustained a minor injury to the leg. 

Jacqueline Bailey, 67, who lives in an apartment building across the road from the shopping plaza, told the newspaper that someone in a westbound sport utility vehicle suddenly opened fire on the group gathered for the memorial vigil and then drove off.

The person who died and the suspect's name haven't been released.

The vigil was held to honor another person killed a year ago at the same location, officials said.

No other details about the shooting have been released. The Franklin County Sheriff's Office is leading the investigation. 

Mayor Andrew Ginther posted a message on Twitter decrying the violence “by someone who opened fire at a vigil for another homicide victim.”

“Enough! Put down the guns,” Ginther said. “We must come together to end the violence that is tearing our community apart. Share what you know with police to get dangerous criminals off the street.”

Columbus police and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation responded to the scene; the Franklin County sheriff’s office is leading the investigation. No arrests were immediately reported.
