On August 26, 1991, Yalonda Williams, known by her alias "Kat," was found fatally shot at 1409 West 5th Street in Dayton, Ohio. Williams, who was 33 years old at the time of her death, suffered multiple gunshot wounds. The incident was reported in Montgomery County, and despite investigations by the Dayton Police Department, the case remains unsolved. Yalonda Williams was known to be involved in prostitution, which has added complexity to the investigation and may have influenced the circumstances of her death.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and local law enforcement continue to seek information regarding this unsolved homicide. By keeping the case active and public, law enforcement hopes that individuals with knowledge of the incident may come forward to assist in bringing closure to Williams' family and justice to those responsible. Tips are still being solicited through Miami Valley Crime Stoppers, with the hope that any additional information could help resolve this tragic case. This remains one of the many cold cases highlighted in Ohio’s unsolved homicide database, a resource intended to provide visibility and encourage community involvement in helping law enforcement solve these enduring mysteries.
