Percy King, a 72-year-old man, was tragically shot and killed on August 31, 1994, in Columbus, Ohio. Percy was leaving his residence on Carver Court in Columbus when he was attacked. The incident involved a single gunshot wound to his torso, which proved fatal. Despite efforts by law enforcement at the time, the investigation did not yield any arrests, and his death remains unsolved.
The Columbus Police Department has worked with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) to feature Percy King's case in the statewide unsolved homicides database, seeking any tips from the public that could help in solving this case. The aim is to bring much-needed visibility to Percy’s case and encourage those who may know anything about the circumstances surrounding his death to come forward. Unfortunately, even after decades, there has been no clear breakthrough, and the case continues to be classified as a cold case.
Authorities continue to ask for information that could assist in resolving the homicide of Percy King, urging community members to contact law enforcement if they recall any detail that might be relevant. Law enforcement believes that even seemingly minor information could help bring justice and closure for Percy King’s family.
