Suspect in Columbus woman's killing charged in another road-rage shooting a day earlier
Christina Perry's mother, Victoria Perry, was crying on Monday, but she said that they were"happy tears."
Christina Perry was fatally shot while driving her 13-year-old son, Shamille, home from a basketball game on Oct. 25, 2020. Around 8:15 p.m. that night, she was driving on the 1000 block of Studer Avenue on the city's South Side when a dark-colored car came up behind them and began firing. Perry was struck in the back by gunfire.
McConnell, who oversees the division's cold case unit, said police had recovered shell casings and a firearm that connect Williams to the scene of Perry's homicide, as well as another incident. Perry had worked at the Ohio Hospital for Psychiatry, where a hallway is now named for her, said Dan Cunningham, Perry's stepfather.
McConnell said police got tips and cooperation from all of Perry's coworkers, as well as a number of people who lived along Livingston and Studer avenues that were witnesses in the case. Cunningham and Victoria Perry said their grandson, who is now a freshman in high school, is doing as well as can be expected after losing his mother and witnessing her being shot. Perry's family had wanted him to attend Monday's announcement, but it was still too much for him.
Cunningham said detectives often don't get enough credit and that people should be more willing to come forward with information they have in homicide investigations.
