On January 21, 1998, Barrington Burton, a 34-year-old man, was shot while exiting the V.I.P. Lounge, a club located at 2545 Petzinger Road in Columbus, Ohio. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene, and the case was subsequently classified as a homicide. The Columbus Police Department has been investigating the incident, but despite their efforts, the murder of Barrington Burton remains unsolved.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has listed Barrington's case as part of their unsolved homicide initiative, which aims to bring more visibility to unsolved cases and encourages the public to come forward with any information that could lead to a resolution. The BCI, in collaboration with local law enforcement, continues to seek public assistance in these cold cases, believing that new tips or advancements in investigative techniques may one day help bring closure to Barrington's family and bring those responsible to justice. If anyone has information about this case, they are encouraged to contact the authorities or the BCI.
