Javon Jaraé Starghill, 21, of Columbus, Ohio, was shot on January 9, 2014, while sitting in a car on Harland Drive with a friend and a 17-year-old girl. His companion Jeremy Head, 25, was pronounced dead at the scene; Javon was taken to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center and died of his wounds seven days later on January 16, 2014.

Investigators described the shooting as likely drug-related. A 19-year-old man, Anton K. Martin, was arrested about six months later but the charges were dismissed after a polygraph test and an unclear witness identification. The case remains unsolved and the Columbus Police Department’s Homicide Cold Case Unit is seeking tips.

Javon is remembered by his family as a kind, caring father whose organs helped others. His mother, Kimberly Starghill, started a support group called Journey to Just Surviving for parents who have lost children to violence and has urged anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Javon, was in the Harland Drive area that night, or has information that could help the investigation, please share what is known.
