Mattie Broadus, a 70-year-old Black woman, was murdered on June 5, 1974, in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was found stabbed to death in her residence at 330 W. 4th St. #15A. Her death was recorded as a homicide and the case remains unsolved.

Authorities have not publicly identified suspects or announced arrests. Samuel Little later confessed to many murders and claimed to have killed a Black woman in Cincinnati in 1974, but his usual method—knocking out and strangling victims—differs from Broadus’ cause of death, and no direct connection has been confirmed. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office lists her case among the state’s cold homicides.

Anyone with information about Mattie Broadus or who knew her is asked to contact the Cincinnati Police Department.
