Calvin B. Strong, a 32-year-old white male, was found shot to death in his vehicle on July 23, 1997, on Switzer Road north of Fostoria in Wood County, Ohio. The killing occurred during what investigators believe was a drug transaction. Strong was in his car with a male passenger when they drove to a rural spot to meet occupants of a second vehicle. The exchange happened through Strong’s open front passenger window and the person who approached produced a gun and fired through the glass, striking Strong multiple times in the head, neck, shoulder and back. The passenger was left unharmed.

The shooter returned to his own vehicle, turned on the gravel roadway and drove away; tire tracks confirmed a second vehicle at the scene. Despite the investigation, no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. Anyone with information about this shooting is asked to contact the Wood County Sheriff’s Office.
