Courdney Sims, a 25-year-old man from Columbus, Ohio, was shot and killed on September 11, 2016, after an attempted armed robbery at a United Dairy Farmers on West Broad Street. Around 12:26 a.m. Sims entered the store carrying a silver handgun, went behind the counter and took cash from several registers, then exited and moved toward an alley behind the building. As he reached the parking lot an unknown person shot him multiple times; he was taken to Mount Carmel West Hospital and later pronounced dead.

The shooter fled before police arrived and the case remains unsolved. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office has highlighted the killing while Columbus detectives continue to investigate. The incident shook nearby residents and businesses; authorities have asked the public for any tips that could identify the shooter or provide leads.

If anyone saw activity near the UDF on West Broad Street that night or has information about who might have been in the alley, please share what you know with investigators.
