Girl, 17, Shot to Death in SE Columbus; Teen Wanted by Police

SOUTHEAST COLUMBUS (Dawn Faugl) -- Officers are actively searching for a teen murder suspect, after a 17-year-old girl was shot and killed last night. Columbus police say 15-year-old Tayon Dunson shot Shevaron Whitehead in the chest at a home on South Champion Avenue. Whitehead died about an hour after Columbus police officers were able to reach her at the house on South Champion Avenue. The following is an excerpt from a 911 call made by a woman after the shooting. Dispatcher: "Who shot her?" Caller: "I don't know. I don't know. I just came out my room." Dispatcher: "Is she outside? Is she in the house?" Caller: "She's in the house. She really, she came in. She's in the house." Dispatcher: "Where's she shot at, hun?" (In the background: "I don't know... ") Caller: "Where's she shot at? I think in her chest." Whitehead was transported to Grant Medical Center, where she was declared dead at 10:57 p.m. Investigators say there were roughly a half-dozen people in the home at the time of the shooting. Whitehead did not live at the house. A mother of another teen tells ABC 6/FOX 28 her son was at the home when the shooting happened, and says he told her it wasn't on purpose. "They were like play fighting over it (the gun). She took it from him and he was trying to get it back from her and it accidentally went off," Latanya Richardson said. Richardson also says she hopes her son can help police. Richardson and her son talked with ABC 6/FOX 28 reporter Rob Wells. He will have her son's side of the story coming up on FOX 28 at 10 and ABC 6 at 11. Family members say the teen also plans to talk to police later tonight. Columbus City Schools confirms Whitehead was a student, saying she was going to be a junior at Walnut Ridge High School.
