On December 28, 1976, Anna Mays, a 31-year-old woman, was tragically shot and killed while visiting a friend in Columbus, Ohio. The incident occurred at 1304 E. 18th Street when there was a knock on the door. Anna answered, and she was shot immediately upon opening the door. She was pronounced dead at the scene, and her homicide remains unsolved.
Anna Mays was reported dead on arrival, and the Columbus Police Department has classified her case as an unsolved homicide. Despite efforts by law enforcement, there have been no viable leads that could help solve this case. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has kept Anna’s case listed as part of their cold case initiatives, seeking any tips from the public that might help provide answers. The authorities hope that increased visibility through the Ohio Attorney General's office will lead to new information that could help bring justice to Anna and closure to her loved ones.
Anyone with information is encouraged to reach out to local law enforcement or to the BCI to assist in solving this case and help bring the perpetrator to justice.
