Derrick Da Shawn Williams was 18 when he was shot and killed in Steubenville, Ohio, on July 10, 2013. Police were called about gunshots at 1124 Claire Avenue at about 3:22 AM and found Derrick with a fatal gunshot wound to the head; four other people inside the residence were uninjured.

Investigators say multiple rounds were fired from outside into the house, suggesting Derrick was not the intended target. The case remains unsolved; authorities have described a shortage of evidence and witnesses and have urged anyone with information, however small, to come forward. Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin and Steubenville Police Chief Bill McCafferty have both publicly pressed for leads. Derrick’s mother, Karrie Leppert, continues to seek justice.

Does anyone who lived near Claire Avenue in July 2013 recall unusual activity or people in the area that night?
