COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A teenager has been charged in the killing of another teen while a man has been arrested for harboring the suspect.

Clark has been charged with obstructing justice and is currently being held at Franklin County Jail.
The suspect in the shooting, a 15-year-old boy, has been charged with murder. He is being held at the Franklin County Juvenile Detention Center.
Clark is scheduled to appear in court Friday, according to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office’s website.
Columbus police are continuing to investigate the shooting. Anyone with any information is asked to contact Columbus Police Det. Lemmon at 614-645-2558.
