David W. Hall, 44, was found dead on October 8, 2005, after being shot in the head while riding his bicycle on Akron’s near west side. His body was discovered the next morning in a backyard along Bacon Avenue, about a mile from his home. There were no signs of robbery, mugging, or a physical altercation at the scene.

Despite extensive investigations, the Akron Police Department has not made any arrests or identified suspects; investigators cite a lack of physical evidence and witnesses.

The Akron Police Department and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office have both said they remain committed to solving the case. If anyone has information about Hall’s death, please contact the Akron Police Department or submit a tip to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.
