Willie Clyde Worthy Jr., 54, was found dead on September 3, 2016, inside an abandoned home on East Fulton Street in Columbus, Ohio. Officers and medics responded around 10:30 a.m. after a report of a decomposing body; Worthy was pronounced dead at about 10:41 a.m. His body showed signs indicating he had been murdered, though specific details of the injuries have not been made public.

Worthy was discovered in a neglected, vacant property, a setting that complicated evidence collection and may have hindered the investigation. Despite initial efforts, no suspect has been publicly identified and the Columbus Police Department and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office continue to list the homicide as unsolved. Anyone with information that could help provide justice for his family is asked to contact local law enforcement.
