On September 14, 1995, Donald Arledge, a twenty-six-year-old resident of Columbus, Ohio, was fatally shot. The incident took place at 344 Morrill Avenue, and Donald sustained a gunshot wound to the chest that led to his death. Despite investigations by the Columbus Police Department, the case remains unsolved, with no apparent leads that could identify the perpetrator or the motive behind the shooting.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has included Donald Arledge’s case in its list of unsolved homicides, seeking public assistance to help solve this crime. The BCI works in coordination with local law enforcement agencies, providing increased visibility and resources for unsolved cases. By making such cases public, they hope to generate tips that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrators and bring justice to victims like Donald and their families.
The Columbus Police Department continues to urge anyone with information regarding Donald Arledge’s death to come forward.
