On May 20, 2013, 39-year-old Shawn Guilford of Cincinnati was shot and killed around 9:20 p.m., his body found inside a vehicle in the South Fairmount neighborhood. Investigators concluded he was shot while in his car; Detective Terry McGuffey of the Cincinnati Police Homicide Unit led the inquiry but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Shawn was engaged and the father of seven children. His mother, Arnella Guilford, has described the ongoing pain the family endures on birthdays and Father’s Day without answers. The advocacy group U Can Speak For Me, founded by Hope Dudley, has been working to keep Shawn’s case and other unsolved Cincinnati homicides in the public eye through canvassing and posters.

Anyone who knew Shawn or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward to help bring justice.
