The city secured an injunction against the Spotlight II Lounge, which the city said has been the site of fatal shootings and other criminal activity.
The Columbus City Attorney’s office has obtained a preliminary injunction against the owners of a bar in the South Hilltop neighborhood following a series of violent crimes at the location.
Shirley King, the property owner, signed a criminal trespass form that permits law enforcement to remove any individual found on the premises after 2 a.m. On July 31, 2021, police responded around 2:10 a.m. to a shooting that killed 25-year-old Marshawn Sullens and wounded four others after a fight began in the parking lot as the bar was closing.
Additionally, Columbus police have received dozens of calls for stolen vehicles, car break-ins, fighting, theft and other disturbances at the premises over the past year, including on May 4, when a patron allegedly stole a firearm from security and fired a shot, the city attorney's office said.
