On August 19, 2010, 25-year-old Michael Burgess was shot and killed at 1511 Gilpin Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio. The incident took place alongside another victim, Anthony Tait, who was also injured. The shooting occurred in the Hamilton County area, and local law enforcement responded to the crime scene following reports of the incident. Unfortunately, the investigation into Burgess's death has yielded no arrests or significant leads, and the case remains unsolved.
The Cincinnati Police Department continues to seek information that could lead to the resolution of this case. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), in partnership with the Ohio Attorney General's Office, has highlighted Michael Burgess's homicide in their unsolved cases database to bring more visibility and encourage tips from the public. Authorities hope that by keeping the case in public view, someone with knowledge of the events might come forward with information that could help bring justice for Burgess and his family.
Despite ongoing efforts, the motive for the shooting has not been established, and no suspects have been identified. Authorities encourage anyone with potential information regarding the homicide to contact them, as even the smallest piece of evidence might help in solving the case and providing closure to the victim's loved ones.
