A Columbus teenager is charged with shooting and killing his stepfather, the Columbus Police Department said in a news release Friday.

Police say 17-year-old William Burgess is charged with the murder of 38-year-old Evan Garner.

A Columbus police press release said officers responded to a shooting in the Parkwood neighborhood in east Columbus Thursday night around 10:45 p.m. Emergency medical services tried to resuscitate Garner, but a deputy coroner pronounced him dead just before 11:30 p.m.

Burgess was taken into custody by the Violent Crimes Unit, according to police. He was charged with murder and possessing a gun during the commission of a crime, both felonies.

He is scheduled to appear in Recorder’s Court Thursday for his a preliminary court hearing.

CPD requests anyone with information contact Sgt. Michael Dahnke at (706) 225-4929.

Zuckerberg touts Meta's latest video vision AI with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang
Meta had a palpable hit last year with Segment Anything, a machine learning model that could quickly and reliably identify and outline just about anything in an image. The sequel, which CEO Mark Zuckerberg debuted on stage Monday at SIGGRAPH, takes the model to the video domain, showing how fast the field is moving. Segment Anything 2 (SA2) is a natural follow-up in that it applies natively to video and not just still images; though you could, of course, run the first model on every frame of a video individually, it's not the most efficient workflow.
