According to police, officers originally responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a shooting in the 800 block of Gibbard Avenue, where they found two women with gunshot wounds. Both victims were taken to a hospital, where 25-year-old Indya Dickerson was pronounced dead an hour later.
The second victim was listed in critical condition but was later upgraded to stable condition.
Columbus police said the shooting appears to be the result of a domestic dispute between Houchins and Dickerson.
Witnesses identified the shooter as driving a black vehicle before police located Houchins in the Mount Vernon neighborhood on North Champions Avenue. Houchins, 34, surrendered himself to police less than two miles away from the scene of the shooting.
A preliminary hearing in municipal court is scheduled for Nov. 13 for Houchins.
