Grieving mother begs for information on her son's murderer

Police in Columbus, Ohio and a grieving mother have turned to social media to help solve a seven-month-old murder.

Maquita Tolliver's 19-year-old son, Miles, was driving with his 22-year-old friend, Daylin Pollard, on Yorkhill Lane in the northeast of Ohio's capital city on January 26, 2020 when they were shot at by a gun-wielding attacker.

The two were hit as they attempted to run away from the attacker.

Police found Miles collapsed in a nearby car parking area and his companion a few streets away.

Both were transported to a nearby hospital but the 19-year-old never recovered.

Now, seven months after the fateful afternoon, Detective Scott Polgar is still following up leads, but with precious little to go on he hopes a heartbroken mother's pleas may help flush out valuable clues.
