COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A Hilliard man who surrendered to police after a warrant was issued for his arrest for a North Central Columbus homicide faced a judge Thursday morning.

According to Franklin County Municipal Court records, 34-year-old Rashaud Roberts was issued a $1 million bond for allegedly shooting and killing a man in the 2100 block of Lisa Drive, in the Oriole Heights neighborhood.

Police said that on Friday at approximately 11:23 p.m., officers responded reports of a shooting at the home, where a party had taken place.

The shooting reportedly stemmed from a verbal argument between Roberts and the victim, 36-year-old Isaac Price. Officers found Price, who reportedly ran from the scene, in a driveway of the 1400 block of Dubay Avenue, around the corner from the incident. He was pronounced dead at 11:41 p.m. by Columbus Fire medics.

Multiple witnesses identified Roberts as the shooter and was arrested on Tuesday after he turned himself in. Roberts will next appear in court for a preliminary hearing on April 26.
