Abriel Vincent Ruiz, 34, of Toledo, Ohio, was shot and killed on the night of September 3, 2014. A tattoo artist at Goodfella’s Tattoo / Electric Ink, he filled notebooks with drawings and writings and is survived by his mother Amelia Ruiz, siblings Pablo and Juanita Ruiz, and his significant other Tiana Villarreal.

A Toledo man entered an Alford plea in 2017 in connection with the case; that plea lets a defendant concede prosecutors have enough evidence for conviction while still asserting innocence. Despite that development, no one has been convicted of murder in Abriel’s death and the investigation remains open. His funeral was held at Freck Funeral Chapel in Oregon, Ohio, and he was buried at North Oregon Cemetery; memorial contributions were directed to Community Tissue Services of Northwest Ohio.

What details about that night or potential witnesses can help move this case toward resolution?
