Travis Foley, a 26-year-old Black man born June 10, 1988, was found dead in Dayton, Ohio, on October 31, 2014. Police responded about 12:53 p.m. to reports of an unresponsive man in an alley behind Brooklyn Avenue near West Second Street and discovered Foley with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Dayton homicide detectives and the Dayton Police Department have classified the death as an intentional act and ruled out an accident, and Lt. David Matthews described the investigation as treating the case as a homicide.

No suspects have been named and the case remains unsolved and cold. The Ohio Attorney General’s office and the Dayton Police Department have both appealed for information and offered anonymous tip lines. Can anyone with information about Foley, his movements that day, or the area behind Brooklyn Avenue help investigators by coming forward?
