What happened
Marese V. Collins was fatally shot by Columbus police on February 7, 2016. The Fatal Force database records Collins's name, the date and the Columbus Police Department's involvement. The precise location of the shooting, the reason for the initial police contact, what officers said they observed, and the results of any prosecutor or civilian investigation require specific reporting or records. The source presently establishes the fatal event, not a complete chronology. No assumption is made about whether Collins carried a weapon or whether deadly force was justified; those conclusions require independent case documentation.
