James Stennies Jr was shot to death in Reynoldsburg on April 22, 2017. Police found his body at about 1:24 am in the parking lot of Miracle Car Wash on the 600 block of Lancaster Ave after responding to reports of gunfire. He had been shot several times, was treated by medics, but was pronounced dead at the scene.

Stennies appears to have been washing his blue 2001 Volvo in the car wash bay before a planned trip later that day to Indiana for a relative’s funeral. Wallet, keys and cell phone were not taken and were found on his body or in the vehicle, leaving the motive and circumstances unclear. Crime Stoppers is offering a $10,000 reward and his family a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest or indictment.
