Roger Prophet, a 54-year-old African American man from Columbus, Ohio, was shot and killed on April 2, 2020. He was found in the hallway outside a bathroom in his home; the fatal shot came from inside the bathroom.

Investigators said the case produced conflicting accounts. Creshella Jarju, Prophet’s 46-year-old girlfriend, initially said Prophet shot himself, then later described an intruder. Forensic testing reportedly found gunshot residue on Jarju’s hands and investigators concluded Prophet had been shot from inside the bathroom.

Prophet is remembered by family and friends as a loving father and a hardworking, positive presence. Does anyone have information about Prophet’s life, relationships, or the day he died that could help clarify what happened?
