A young man dies of a single shotgun blast On a winter afternoon in the quiet town of Nottingham, New Hampshire, a discovery was made that would leave a lasting mark on the community. On January 19, 1978, the Rockingham County Sheriff's Department arrived at a residence on McCrillis Road around 1:00 p.m. to find the body of 25-year-old Michael A. Keljikian, a male from Revere, Massachusetts.
An autopsy would later confirm that he had died from a single shotgun blast.
Although the medical examiner did not officially rule on the manner of death, investigators have treated the case as a homicide based on the details of the investigation. For decades, the death of Michael Keljikian has remained an unsolved crime, a cold case that continues to await a resolution. Information regarding any potential suspects or arrests in connection with the case has not been made publicly available.
The New Hampshire Department of Justice lists Michael Keljikian's case among its unsolved homicides, a stark reminder of the unanswered questions that still surround that January day. Law enforcement has periodically reviewed the case, and it remains open in the hopes that new information will emerge. Despite the passage of time, the search for answers and the pursuit of justice for Michael Keljikian continue.
