Charles Flagg, a 33-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on October 18, 2015, outside the Ladies and Gentlemen Sports Bar in Springfield Township, Ohio. He was struck in the abdomen and later died at UC Medical Center. Witnesses described the shooter as a black man about 6 feet 4 inches tall in a black hooded sweatshirt who fled in a dark-colored van.

Security cameras captured the incident, but the footage was too dark to clearly identify the shooter. Michael Williams was arrested and charged in connection with the killing and has been convicted and is serving time; however, investigators believe Williams did not fire the shot and the case remains open as authorities continue searching for the actual shooter. The Springfield Township Police Department says it has no active leads at this time.

Flagg’s mother, Carlnette Flagg-Miles, has been vocal in seeking justice, working with Mothers Against Gun Violence and holding annual vigils at the scene. If anyone has information that could identify the shooter or help the investigation, please come forward.
