Jerron Henry, aged 35, was fatally shot on July 7, 2015, in Columbus, Ohio. The incident occurred around 2:00 a.m. in the 1300 block of Hamilton Road. Jerron was struck by gunfire four times and was transported to Mt. Carmel West Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. He became one of the victims of the violence that plagued the area that year, marking the 48th homicide of 2015 in Columbus.
The shooting also injured another individual, 19-year-old Tefere Shiferaw, who suffered a gunshot wound to his hip but survived. Police responded to the scene and initiated an investigation; however, both victims and witnesses were reportedly uncooperative, which made it difficult for authorities to gather crucial information to identify suspects. As of the time of the investigation, no suspects were immediately identified, and the case remained unsolved.
The Columbus Police Department has called on anyone with information to assist in the investigation, hoping that tips from the public could help bring justice for Jerron Henry and closure to his loved ones. The case has been included in the city's homicide and cold case archives, highlighting the need for further public cooperation to solve this crime.
