Raymond English, a 35-year-old white male from Columbus, Ohio, tragically passed away on July 4, 2021. He was discovered in an alley behind Azelda Street early that morning, having been shot. The Columbus Police Department responded to the scene at around 7:10 a.m., and Raymond was pronounced dead shortly after at 7:18 a.m. The incident was reported as a homicide, and Raymond was the 104th homicide victim in Columbus that year.
Despite extensive investigations, the case remains unsolved. The Columbus Police Department has not released any information about suspects or arrests related to Raymond's death. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Columbus Police Department or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers.
Raymond was remembered fondly by his family and friends for his "life of the party" personality, great smile, and caring nature. He is deeply missed by his mother Kelly English, brother Justin Lloyd, sister Misty Hermes, and many other loved ones.
The lack of resolution in this case has left Raymond's family and friends seeking answers and justice. The Ohio Attorney General's Office continues to work on the case, hoping to bring closure to those affected by this tragic loss.
