The Akron Police Department has been leading the investigation into his death, which has been classified as an unsolved homicide.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) is working in coordination with local law enforcement agencies to try to solve Goins' murder. They have been highlighting such cold cases to raise public awareness, increase the visibility of these unsolved homicides, and potentially gather new tips that could lead to breakthroughs. These cases, like that of Phillip Goins, rely heavily on community input to progress, and law enforcement continues to seek any information that might assist in solving the crime.
Despite the passage of time, the case of Phillip Goins remains open, and the authorities emphasize the importance of any possible lead, no matter how small, to bring closure to his family. The BCI encourages anyone who might have relevant information about the events surrounding his death to reach out and assist in the investigation. This ongoing effort is part of a broader campaign by Ohio authorities to address unsolved homicides across the state and provide justice for the victims and their loved ones.
