Samuel Winston

On June 16, 2007, Samuel Winston, a 27-year-old man, was fatally shot in Columbus, Ohio. The incident occurred at 1360 Phale D. Hale Drive, in Fairfield County. The Columbus Police Department responded to the scene, but despite their efforts, no suspects have been identified, and the case remains unsolved. Samuel Winston's death is classified as a homicide, and the investigation has not yielded enough evidence to determine the person or persons responsible for his killing.

Authorities have kept this case active in the Ohio Attorney General's cold case database in an effort to encourage members of the public to come forward with any information that could assist the investigation. The Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and local law enforcement are collaborating to provide more visibility to unsolved cases like this, hoping that increased awareness could eventually lead to new tips that might bring about justice and closure for Samuel Winston's family.

Anyone with information is urged to contact law enforcement to help solve this case. The continued involvement of the community is considered critical by investigators as they work to resolve this and other unsolved homicides in Ohio.
