Thomas Kenton Burns, a 52-year-old car salesman, was fatally shot in Columbus, Ohio, on May 29, 2014. He had owned and operated car lots in Hillsboro and Columbus and was reported to be starting a new car lot with a business partner at the time of his death.

The shooting prompted a murder investigation. Robert D. Turner, a Columbus resident, was charged in the case and went to trial; the jury returned a not guilty verdict and Turner was acquitted. The outcome left questions for the family and community.

Burns is survived by his father, Lawrence Edward Burns Sr., three sons Casey, James, and Levi, and siblings Lawrence E. Burns Jr. and Cindy Burns Seip. Does anyone have information about Thomas Burns, his business dealings, or the events leading up to May 29, 2014?
