Damis Crawford, a 30-year-old man from Lorain, Ohio, was fatally shot on August 13, 2010. The incident occurred at approximately 2:54 a.m. while Damis was standing outside a residence with his brother at 1637 East 30th Street. A vehicle drove by, and its occupants fired multiple rounds in their direction, killing Damis. The authorities believe the shooting was a drive-by retaliation related to an earlier gang or drug-related incident involving the death of a gang member.
However, Damis Crawford was not involved in those incidents; he was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire, standing in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The Lorain Police Department has developed a suspect in the case, but there was insufficient evidence to proceed with prosecution. The case remains unsolved, and the authorities continue to seek information that could bring justice for Damis and his family. The community is urged to contact the Lorain Police Department or use anonymous tip services to provide any relevant information that could help solve this tragic case.
