On Tuesday the Columbus Division of Police identified the officer who shot and injured a domestic violence suspect Monday. According to a 911 caller, the suspect had threatened to shoot his girlfriend before kicking in her home’s door.

A 911 call placed by a friend of the woman whose estranged boyfriend was shot and wounded by Columbus police Monday afternoon said the man had threatened to shoot his former girlfriend and had kicked in her home’s door.

According to a recording of the call, obtained by The Dispatch through a public records request, a friend of the woman who lived at the residence in the 4200 block of Karl Road on the Northeast Side called police about 12:45 p.m. Monday after receiving a text that the woman’s boyfriend had broken into the home.

The caller said her friend’s estranged boyfriend, whom she incorrectly identified, had broken a tablet and phone and kicked in her friend’s door.

"She’s trying to get away," the caller said. "He’s very violent."

The caller later told dispatchers: "He has a gun and said he was gonna shoot her in the face or something like that."

Officers went to the home believing that there was a burglary in progress or violence involving an armed man, police said. When they arrived, they encountered a man outside and confronted him. Officer Sontino Williams, an 18-year division veteran, fired his weapon.

The man, 27-year-old Roddale Garmany, was taken to OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital with injuries that weren’t life-threatening.

Garmany has been charged with domestic violence and assault against his estranged girlfriend. He already had two pending domestic violence and assault charges involving the woman who lives at the residence from incidents on consecutive days earlier in February,

Williams is on paid administrative leave while the shooting is investigated by the division’s Critical Incident Response Team, as is Columbus Division of Police policy.
