William Morris, a resident of Akron, Ohio, was the victim of an unsolved homicide that took place on February 20, 1985. His case remains open and unresolved, listed among the many cold cases investigated by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI). On that day, Morris was fatally attacked, but specific details about the circumstances of his death remain scarce. This homicide occurred in Summit County, and no suspects have been publicly identified by authorities since then.
The Ohio Attorney General's office, in collaboration with BCI, continues to seek information that may lead to the resolution of this cold case. The case of William Morris, like many others from that period, is part of an effort to bring closure to unsolved homicides by encouraging the public to share any relevant information. BCI and local law enforcement rely on public tips and have made an appeal to the community for anyone who might have knowledge related to Morris’s death to come forward.
The ongoing visibility of Morris's case on the Ohio Attorney General’s unsolved homicides list aims to keep his memory alive and encourage potential witnesses or those with information to assist in solving this crime. The hope remains that the investigation can eventually bring justice to William Morris and closure to his loved ones.
