On September 24, 1996, Henry Person, a 33-year-old man, was found dead at the rear entrance of his residence on Miller Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. He had sustained a fatal gunshot wound. The discovery was made near the back of his home, and the incident was immediately classified as a homicide. The Columbus Police Department took charge of the investigation, but despite their efforts, no suspects were arrested, and the case has remained unsolved.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has kept Henry Person’s case open as part of their unsolved homicides database, which helps to bring attention to unsolved crimes in Ohio.

Henry Person's family and community are still seeking justice, and the BCI has made his case a priority, encouraging anyone with information to come forward. The public is urged to contact law enforcement if they have any details that could assist in solving this case and bring closure to those affected by Henry's untimely death.
