On February 25, 2005, Obadiah Carlisle, a 31-year-old male, was fatally shot inside a building located at 100 E. McMicken Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio. The homicide occurred in the early hours of the morning, leaving Carlisle dead at the scene. He was known by the alias "Terrence O. Carlisle." The incident remains unsolved, and law enforcement is still seeking information that could lead to identifying the perpetrator.
The Cincinnati Police Department responded to the incident, but despite ongoing efforts, no arrest has been made. The case remains open as part of Ohio's cold case database. Authorities have called on anyone with relevant information to come forward, hoping that new leads might finally bring justice to Carlisle’s family. Given the lack of eyewitness testimonies or clear leads at the time, the investigation has remained a significant challenge for law enforcement.
Carlisle's homicide is listed among several other unsolved cases from the mid-2000s in Cincinnati. The Ohio Attorney General’s office and local law enforcement continue to work on such cases, urging the public to assist in shedding light on what occurred on that tragic day. The community and police alike hope that someone may eventually provide information that will help bring closure to this cold case.
