Cortez Hudson, aged 37, was tragically killed on November 24, 2016, in Cincinnati, Ohio. The incident occurred on Thanksgiving Day in the West End neighborhood, an area that has been no stranger to violence. Cortez was found with a fatal gunshot wound, and police were called to the scene at approximately 10:19 p.m. Despite efforts to gather information from the scene, Cortez's death remains unsolved, classified as an open investigation by the Cincinnati Police Department.
Cortez's homicide is part of a broader list of unsolved homicides being managed by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI). The BCI works closely with local law enforcement to provide resources and increase visibility for cases like Cortez's. They hope that by highlighting these cases through statewide initiatives, they can bring more attention to unresolved crimes and, ultimately, encourage those with information to come forward. The agency appeals for tips and information that might help provide closure to grieving families, including Hudson’s, who are left without answers.
The BCI and local law enforcement have made repeated calls to the public for assistance in solving Cortez Hudson's case. By increasing visibility through platforms like the Ohio Attorney General's Office and involving community members, they hope to gather new leads that could potentially bring the perpetrator to justice and offer a sense of resolution to Cortez’s family. Anyone with relevant information is encouraged to contact the authorities.
