Robert Simms, 33, of Hillsboro, Ohio, was shot and killed on June 7, 2017, while working as a contractor on a house renovation in Fairfax, Ohio. A co-worker on the same project, 55-year-old Jeffrey Eckstein, reportedly pulled a firearm during an argument and shot Simms three times in the chest. Neighbors came to help, but Simms was pronounced dead at the scene.

Eckstein was arrested, charged with murder, and held on a $1 million bond. Court filings noted the men were related by marriage, though Eckstein’s attorney questioned whether the relationship was formal. Witnesses said there had been an argument before the shooting; the motive remains unclear. The killing attracted attention in Fairfax, which had not had a homicide since 1977.

Anyone who knew Robert, Jeffrey, or saw the events around the renovation site on June 7, 2017, is asked to share information.
