Columbus police and Central Ohio Crime Stoppers are investigating the death of Martin Hall, 43, who died during a drive-by shooting in the 400 block of South Hampton Road across the street from Eastmoor Academy High School.

Multiple shots were fired in the direction of the group at around 10:15 p.m. Officers found Hall in front of the home with a gunshot wound before he was taken to Grant Medical Center.
