Anthony Sowell Jr., 27, was shot and killed on the night of September 18, 2015, in the 700 block of Napoleon Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. He had recently been released from prison after serving a sentence for aggravated robbery and assault.

Witnesses reported hearing a fight before the shots and saw several cars speeding away. Police did not announce any arrests or identify a motive; additional shots were later fired in a nearby alley while officers were on the scene, but no one else was injured. The investigation remained open and authorities asked anyone with information to come forward.

Family and friends remembered him as a loving father and son; his obituary noted he had missed milestones in his children’s lives during his time incarcerated and expressed a desire to make amends. Does anyone in the community have information about that night or recall anything unusual on Napoleon Avenue around September 18, 2015?
