COLUMBUS, Ohio --
A soldier suspected of killing his girlfriend is dead after an all-night manhunt ended with a police-involved shooting early Friday.

Columbus police said Juvon Williams, 18, shot his girlfriend, Leigh Belyn, 18, at her home on Medalist Drive Thursday night.

The manhunt began when Columbus medics and police were called to a home in the 4000 block of Nafzgar Drive on a report of shooting at about 7:36 p.m. Thursday.

Police said they received a call that a man had exited the house saying that someone was dead.

No victim was found at the home, but police said they received information that led them to Belyn's home on Medalist Drive. Upon arrival, police said they found the doors of the home open and a crime scene inside.

"It was very evident to the officers when they walked into that room that a violent crime had occurred," said Columbus police Sgt. Rich Weiner.

About 40 minutes later, Westerville police called Columbus police saying that Williams' car was found on South Spring Street just south of Huber Village Blvd. in Westerville. Belyn's body was found inside the vehicle, but there was no sign of Williams.
