COLUMBUS, OH — Authorities are actively searching for Quinntel Maurice Bagley, a wanted felon who was last seen on the west side of Columbus early this morning. Bagley, who is considered armed and dangerous, has sparked a wide-reaching manhunt following a series of serious offenses.
At approximately 6:00 a.m. today, a woman reported that Bagley had kidnapped her from her residence in Grove City and transported her to the Hilltop area of Columbus. The woman managed to escape unharmed and last saw Bagley near Eureka Avenue and West Broad Street.
Bagley, who has a known history with the victim including a previous kidnapping incident on June 13, 2024, is now the focus of a major police operation. His whereabouts remain unknown, and authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant.
Bagley is described as a 38-year-old male, standing 6 feet tall and weighing 212 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. At the time of the reported kidnapping, he was wearing a black shirt and black shorts.
In a related incident, on June 13, 2024, Bagley managed to escape from custody while being transported after medical treatment at Fairfield Medical Center. Following the escape, Bagley was spotted in the 700 block of Pleasantville Road, where he unlawfully entered a residence, commandeered the homeowner’s vehicle, and fled to the Southeast Columbus area. Although the vehicle was later recovered, Bagley remains at large.
The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a reward for information leading to Bagley’s capture. Members of the public are advised not to approach Bagley due to his dangerous nature.
