Craig A. Cortner III, 29, of Dayton, Ohio, was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene on August 3, 2019, in his apartment on the 1000 block of Euclid Avenue. The front door of the unit was found open, but reports differ on whether it had been forced open. Investigators initially had no immediate suspects and asked the public for information.

Dayton police continued the investigation in the months afterward and offered a reward up to $5,000 for tips. A Montgomery County grand jury later declined to indict a person identified only as John Doe, so no charges were filed in that action and the death remains unsolved. Craig’s family and friends remembered him as kind and genuine and said they want justice and closure.

If anyone has information about what happened at the Euclid Avenue apartment on August 3, 2019, please come forward to investigators.
