Jermaine Hill, 35, was found shot to death on December 16, 2012, in a vacant house in Columbus, Ohio. His body was discovered in the early hours of that Sunday, and his killing was counted among the city’s 88 homicides recorded that year. Hill was described by prosecutors as a Georgia drug dealer and had known connections to drug activity.

Clemon Parham, a Columbus resident, was implicated in a series of violent crimes from that period and was accused of Hill’s slaying. At a 2016 trial Parham was acquitted of Hill’s death but was convicted of an unrelated homicide. Prosecutors suggested financial disputes involving more than $100,000 could have been a motive. No one else has been convicted in Hill’s killing, and the Columbus Division of Police continues to seek information.

If anyone knew Hill’s movements, associates, or has tips that could help identify those responsible, please contact the Columbus Division of Police.
