Demeki Lashae Walker, 39, of Columbus, Ohio, was found dead on December 23, 2016, in a trash fire behind a building in the Hilltop neighborhood. Investigators concluded she had been murdered and that her body was set on fire, reportedly to destroy evidence.

Two brothers, 31-year-old Thomas Dortch and 24-year-old Dawan Dortch, were arrested and charged with murder and tampering with evidence. Court records say the brothers were captured on home surveillance at Walker’s residence hours before the fire. Detectives reported a large amount of blood in the home and a spent shell casing there. Disposable rubber gloves left at the scene reportedly contained Walker’s blood and DNA from both suspects. The motive for the killing remains unclear.

Did anyone in the Hilltop area see Walker or the Dortch brothers around December 23, 2016?
