James Michael Roth, 61, was shot and killed at his Upper Arlington home on October 31, 2019. A long-time Columbus resident and engineer with the Ohio Department of Transportation for more than 30 years, Roth was remembered for his dedication to work, his family and his Christian faith.

Elizabeth survived and received hospital treatment; their daughter, 31-year-old Kristin Roth, was arrested at the scene and charged by a Franklin County Grand Jury with multiple counts including aggravated murder, two counts of murder, attempted murder and felonious assault, all with firearm specifications. An arraignment was scheduled for November 8, 2019, at the Franklin County Courthouse.

The case stunned the neighborhood and Roth’s colleagues and left the family and community reeling. If anyone knew James, Elizabeth or the circumstances that night, does anyone have information to share with investigators?
