Advanced Job Search Search by Category A Columbus woman was hit by a hail of gunfire and killed early Thursday after she accompanied a friend to her ex-boyfriend's home on Allen Street.
Jolena Seldon, 22, of 2723 Fern St. was shot by Dywane Lamont Turner, 28, of 4845 Allen St. around 5 a.m., said Columbus Police Lt. Charles Kennedy. Turner was arrested around 4 p.m. and charged with murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
"He's claiming it was an act of self-defense," Kennedy said. "This will be the only arrest in the case."
Seldon and her friend Shelby Perry, 22, who dated Turner, went to the home to confront Turner about his relationship with another woman, Kennedy said. Turner's brother, Jerry Ramon Morgan, 21, let the two women inside the home because he knew them.
They went to Turner's bedroom door, which was locked, Kennedy said Perry told police. Seldon kicked the door in, Kennedy said.
"And then they both rushed into the room," the lieutenant said.
Turner, who was in bed with another woman, told police he awoke to the sounds of his bedroom door being forced open. He was startled and reached for his gun, Kennedy said Turner told police.
"He reacted by shooting toward the door, where they were coming into the bedroom," Kennedy said. "That's what he's saying. He's saying he was unaware who he was shooting at."
The lights were off in Turner's bedroom and the TV was on. The .223-caliber assault rifle Turner used was about 3-4 feet away from Seldon, who was hit in the head and chest.
Muscogee County Coroner Bill Thrower pronounced Seldon dead at 6 a.m. Her body was sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation crime lab in Atlanta for an autopsy. Results are expected today.
Turner's Columbus Recorder's Court hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday.
Police said Thursday's shooting is the 13th homicide this year.

Right there is a prime example of being messy...
If I've been taking testosterone, you've been hitting up that estrogen big-time. Everytime I turn around now, you're gossiping, calling names, trying to start arguments among the women, trying to generate arguments...this is pretty messy, childish and immature.
