Henry Lee Dupree, a 58-year-old African American man, was killed on August 27, 1994, while working as a security guard at an adult bookstore in Eastlake, Ohio. He was shot multiple times during an attack that also wounded the store cashier, Louis Lauver, who survived.

Frederick Treesh, who was undertaking a week-long crime spree that included bank robberies, carjackings and a kidnapping, shot Dupree and was arrested shortly after the murder. Treesh was convicted of aggravated murder, attempted murder and felonious assault. His accomplice, Benjamin Brooks, pleaded guilty to murder and received a term of 40 years to life.

Treesh was later sentenced to death and executed by lethal injection on March 6, 2013; at his execution he apologized to Dupree’s family but did not express remorse for the other crimes from the spree. Anyone who knew Henry Dupree or has information about his life or the incident is asked to come forward.
