Aaron Paige, a 31-year-old African American man from Cleveland, was found dead on April 2, 2020, in Middletown, Ohio. He and 29-year-old Dashaua Brown, also from Cleveland, were discovered in a white Hyundai on Euclid Street with gunshot wounds. The Butler County Coroner’s Office ruled both deaths homicides.

Middletown police pulled the car over earlier that morning for lacking headlights. Investigators say suspects have been identified, but the case remains unsolved because there is insufficient evidence to make arrests. Police have been working with other agencies and conducting searches but have not announced any arrests.

The lack of arrests in this double homicide has been compared to an earlier unsolved shooting in Middletown, the 2018 death of Benny Barefield, where suspects were likewise identified but not prosecuted. Anyone with information about Aaron Paige, Dashaua Brown, the white Hyundai, or the events on Euclid Street that morning is asked to come forward.
