Corey Hart

On Tuesday, August 17, 2010, at approximately 1:45am, Corey Hart attempted to intervene when he observed a woman, who he knew, in an extremely heated argument with a man outside of the Woods bar located at 2903 E. 5^th Ave.  Corey Hart believed the woman was going to be assaulted.  The man and woman had been fighting inside the bar and were escorted out of the bar. The male walked away and got into a gold colored SUV where two women were seated (one of the women drove).  A second man, a friend of the man who had gotten into the SUV, exchanged words with Corey Hart.  The man then began to walk away, but turned to Corey Hart, produced a handgun, and shot Corey one time.  The man ran to the SUV and fled the scene.  Corey Hart was helped across E. 5^th Ave. to his car.  Columbus Police and CFD medics arrived.  Mr. Hart was transported to Grant Medical Center where he died at 6:38am.
