On June 4, 1989, Curtis Dove, aged 42, was tragically shot and killed inside his home on Bellow Street in Akron, Ohio. Curtis was found with multiple gunshot wounds in his residence. The incident occurred late at night, and it remains unsolved. Despite efforts by the Akron Police Department, no suspect has been publicly identified, and the case has since gone cold.
Prior to his death, Curtis had previously been seriously injured in a domestic incident in March 1988, where he was shot in the side. No charges were filed in connection to that earlier incident, which also took place in his home. Given the history of violence associated with the residence, the investigation into Curtis Dove's murder has been challenging, and authorities have not been able to find sufficient evidence to prosecute anyone.
The Ohio Attorney General's Office, along with the Akron Police Department, has appealed to the public for any information that could lead to resolving the case. They continue to seek tips from anyone who might have relevant information to help bring closure to Curtis Dove's family.
