Demeki Lashae Walker, 39, of Columbus, Ohio, was found dead in the early hours of December 23, 2016, after Columbus firefighters responding to a trash fire on South Eureka Avenue discovered her body. Investigators concluded the fire had been set to conceal the body and treated the case as a homicide. Evidence indicated Walker had been killed elsewhere and her body transported to the Eureka Avenue location before the fire was started.

Surveillance footage from Walker’s home placed two brothers, Dawan and Thomas Dortch, near her residence shortly before the crime. Forensic links included blood traces and a spent shell casing at her home, plus gloves at the fire scene containing DNA from both suspects and Walker. Those findings formed the basis of arrest and charges filed against the Dortch brothers. The exact motive has not been established.

Did anyone in the Columbus area see or hear anything around Walker’s home or South Eureka Avenue on December 22–23, 2016?
