On August 13, 2010, Damis Cherokee Raymel Crawford, a 30-year-old Black male, was fatally shot in Lorain, Ohio. He was standing outside his brother's apartment at 1637 East 30th Street when a vehicle drove by and the occupants opened fire. The shooting was believed to be a retaliation for the death of a gang member, although Damis had no connection to the prior incidents.
He was an innocent bystander caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Despite the development of a suspect, there was insufficient evidence to pursue prosecution, and the case remains unsolved. The Lorain Police Department continues to seek information from the public to bring closure to Damis Crawford's family. His death left behind a wife and three children, who have been vocal about their desire for justice.
The investigation into Damis Crawford's murder has been ongoing, with the Lorain Police Department working closely with his family to find the person responsible. However, nearly 15 years later, the case remains a mystery, and no arrests have been made. The family continues to hope for answers and justice for Damis.
