On September 23, 1993, Charles Humfleet, aged 22, was tragically killed in an armed robbery at his U-Haul business located at 1949 Losantiville Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio. The incident occurred in the late hours of the day, and Charles was found shot inside his business. Reports indicated that the suspects were two Black males driving a dark brown 1982-1986 Cutlass Ciera, a four-door vehicle. Despite the descriptions provided and subsequent investigation efforts, the case remains unsolved.
Charles Humfleet and his wife were relatively new to the area, managing the U-Haul business together. On the day of the incident, the suspects entered the business intending to commit a robbery, which escalated to fatal violence. The scene of the crime was discovered by Humfleet’s wife, further deepening the impact of this tragedy on their family. The case, to this day, has remained part of Cincinnati's unsolved homicide records, and law enforcement continues to seek information that might bring closure to the family.
The Ohio Attorney General’s Office and the Cincinnati Police Department have appealed to anyone with potential knowledge of the incident to come forward. The involvement of the public could play a crucial role in solving this case, and tips can be submitted anonymously. Authorities are hopeful that any new evidence or witness information may provide the breakthrough needed to bring those responsible for Charles Humfleet's death to justice.
