Savaughn Conner, a 33-year-old man from Columbus, Ohio, was shot to death on January 8, 2017. His body was found about 9:30 a.m. near the entrance of a business park on South James Road; medics pronounced him dead at the scene. Surveillance shows a vehicle stopping at the entrance around 12:45 a.m., with one person exiting and leaving Conner’s body there. Detectives determined Conner was killed elsewhere and then transported to that location.

Investigators later linked 39-year-old Warriayre A. Roundtree to the killing. He was indicted and charged with aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, tampering with evidence, and two gun specifications. Authorities say Roundtree used a prepaid burner cellphone, disposed of Conner’s phone, and cleaned the truck involved; conversations he had with a fellow inmate helped corroborate details that led to his arrest and conviction. The motive was connected to alleged schemes between Conner and Roundtree, including a 2015 attempted burglary of Roundtree’s home that had been dropped for lack of evidence.

Conner was a father of four, unemployed at the time and hoping to move closer to his children in Florida. Does anyone have information about Conner’s life in Columbus or the events leading up to January 8, 2017?
