Leroy Devore, aged 53, was tragically killed on April 14, 1976, during an apparent robbery at his home in Dayton, Ohio. He died from a shotgun blast to the chest, and the incident occurred around 9 p.m. that evening. Despite investigations, the case has remained unsolved, and there have been no arrests made in connection with his death. The Dayton Police Department has classified this as a homicide and has kept the case open, actively seeking any information that could help solve it.
The Ohio Attorney General's Office, along with the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), has highlighted Devore's case among its unsolved homicide listings. By including this case in their statewide cold case database, they aim to generate new leads and increase public awareness, which may eventually lead to justice for Leroy Devore and closure for his family. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward and provide tips through official channels. Community participation plays a critical role in solving these types of cases, especially those that have gone unsolved for decades.
