COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – One of two men accused in a beating death outside a bar in the Short North in September of 2022 is set to go on trial Monday.
Dwayne Cummings will be on trial facing a murder charge with jury selection beginning Monday.

Cummings, along with Chrystian Foster, are accused of murder in the death of bartender Gregory Coleman Jr. following a fight outside the now-closed Julep bar on Sept. 5, 2022.

The fight, a portion of which was caught on video released by Columbus police, shows Coleman squaring up to one of the suspects when a second man comes up from Coleman’s blind spot, hitting him on the side of the head. Coleman then falls to the ground – half on the sidewalk and half in the street — while the two men in the video proceed to hit him multiple times.
Coleman was hospitalized with severe injuries, dying 12 days after the assault.
Foster will be tried via a bench trial at a later date.

Cummings, along with Chrystian Foster, are facing murder charges in the death of Gregory Coleman Jr., who died from his injuries 12 days after the alleged assault.

In a video released by Columbus police, Coleman and one of the suspects are seen squaring up with each other. Coleman throws a punch at one of the suspects but doesn’t hit him. Coleman is then hit in the face by a second man who comes at the victim from the side.
