David Slater Jr., 22, was shot and killed in Columbus, Ohio on June 9, 2002. An Ohio State University senior, Slater was sitting in a friend’s car when a bullet passed through the back windshield and struck him in the chest. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.

Police say Slater had been involved in an argument with the suspect or suspects shortly before the shooting. Investigators initially placed the shooting near East 16th Avenue and Pearl Alley, but a key witness later recanted and said it occurred around East 11th Avenue and North 4th Street. No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved, one of several University District murders dating back to 1994.

Anyone with information about Slater’s death is asked to contact the Columbus Police Department to assist the investigation.
