Ray Sullivan, aged 27, was the victim of a homicide on February 22, 1968, in Columbus, Ohio. At the time of the incident, Sullivan was working as a night attendant at a Texaco gas station located at 873 Summit Street. During his shift, he was attacked and stabbed, sustaining injuries that proved fatal. He was transported to University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The homicide case remains unsolved, and there have been no significant leads or suspects identified to date. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), in collaboration with the Columbus Police Department, continues to classify the death of Ray Sullivan as an unsolved homicide. The BCI has been actively working to bring visibility to the case by listing it in their cold case database, hoping that renewed public attention might provide new information or tips that could help bring those responsible to justice.
The details available do not indicate a clear motive for the attack, and Sullivan's case joins several others from that period that have remained cold due to the absence of viable leads. The Ohio Attorney General's Office, through initiatives to highlight cold cases, aims to generate public tips that may eventually solve the crime and bring closure to the victim's family. They urge anyone with information regarding the events of that night or any potential suspects to come forward to assist in the investigation.
