On November 12, 1989, Terry Slacum, a 25-year-old male, was killed in a shooting incident in Columbus, Ohio. The homicide occurred at 1111 Stimmell Road in Franklin County. According to reports, witnesses saw a small black vehicle pull into the driveway at the address. Several individuals exited the vehicle, prompting Terry Slacum to flee. As Slacum ran, four individuals began shooting at him, striking him multiple times.
He was subsequently transported to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The investigation into Slacum's death was undertaken by the Franklin County Sheriff's Office, but despite the initial efforts, no suspects have been identified and the case remains unsolved. The authorities have continued to request assistance from the public, encouraging anyone with information about the case to come forward in hopes that it might lead to a breakthrough. Slacum's case is one of many unsolved homicides that have plagued Columbus, with law enforcement using various methods and public appeals to keep the case active.
The Ohio Attorney General’s Office and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) have also included this case among the many cold cases featured on their platform to maintain visibility and generate tips that could potentially lead to resolution. They emphasize the need for any witnesses to provide information that could help identify those responsible for the crime. The ongoing hope is that through advances in investigative technology or renewed community involvement, justice can be served in the case of Terry Slacum.
