Clarence Harris, 37, was found dead from gunshot wounds on April 10, 2017, on Columbus’s east side. Police responded to a report of shots fired, discovered Harris unresponsive, and emergency responders were unable to revive him; he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

Harris’s killing occurred during a notably violent year for Columbus, one of the deadliest in recent history with over 140 homicides recorded in 2017. No suspects have been officially identified or apprehended in this case, and investigators have appealed to the public for information. A lack of witnesses or actionable leads has hampered progress.

If anyone has information about where Harris was that night or saw activity on the city’s east side around April 10, 2017, please contact the Columbus Division of Police.
