On August 9, 1981, 16-year-old Edwind Cznerniak was found fatally shot in Columbus, Ohio. Police discovered him with a gunshot wound to the face outside 1201 Schrock Road. Despite early investigative efforts, the case remains unsolved, with no clear leads or suspects. The Columbus Police Department, alongside the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, still seeks public assistance, hoping someone with knowledge of the event may come forward to provide new information.
This case is now one of Ohio’s numerous cold cases, highlighted by the Attorney General's Office to bring renewed visibility and encourage public tips. The authorities urge anyone who might know details about the circumstances surrounding Cznerniak’s death to contact their tip line, as any small piece of information could prove valuable in solving this long-standing mystery and providing closure for his family.
