One man is dead and another is in custody following a shooting Thursday afternoon in Madison Township.
Franklin County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Maria Durant said that the shooting happened at around 3:45 p.m. in the 3700 block of Noe Bixby Road, which is between Brewster Drive and Wingate Road, north of Winchester Pike.
The victim, a man, was pronounced dead at a local hospital, said Durant. The victim could not be identified pending positive confirmation of identity and notification of family.
A suspect, also a man, is in custody, said Durant, who could not immediately identify him.
Durant also could not provide information on what led up to the shooting, but said that it was not the result of a carjacking, which was initially reported by other media.
