Kenneth William Shinafelt, 31, was murdered in Lorain, Ohio on July 11, 2016. He was found in the 2300 block of Reeves Avenue at about 11:50 p.m. and died the following morning at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland.

Police identified 16-year-old Darius Ramey as the primary suspect. Ramey, described as a black male about 6 feet 1 inch and 140 pounds, was considered armed and dangerous and was said to frequent the West Side of Lorain and the Lorain Metropolitan Housing Authority developments. Ramey turned himself in on July 22, 2016, accompanied by an attorney. In October 2016 he was indicted on murder and felonious assault charges; the indictment included a three-year gun specification and he was to be prosecuted in adult court with bond set at $250,000.

What details about Shinafelt’s last known movements or anyone who might have seen him on Reeves Avenue that night could help this investigation?
