Columbus Teen, 16, Arrested Nov. 9 in Fatal Shooting of 18-Year-Old High School Graduate Aaliyah Chan
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A Columbus police SWAT team arrested 16-year-old Jaycier Armstrong on November 9 in Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio, in connection with the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Aaliyah Chan.
Police said Armstrong faces charges of delinquency murder, aggravated robbery and felonious assault. He was taken to the Franklin County Court of Domestic Relations to be processed and will then be held at the Franklin County Juvenile Intervention Center.
The shooting happened at about 7:45 p.m. on October 30 at a condo in the 1000 block of Hardesty Place West on Columbus's Southwest Side. Officers found Chan shot dead at the scene and two other victims were taken to hospitals. Chan was a 2026 graduate of Briggs High School in the Columbus City Schools and had planned to attend cosmetology school.
Her father, Paul Chan, previously told reporters that his daughter was at the condo while her boyfriend was getting a haircut when the shooting began, and that she was not the intended target. Police believe the shooting stemmed from a robbery attempt, and the investigation is ongoing.
