On October 15, 2010, 20-year-old Charles Climer was one of three people killed when a residence in the 100 block of North Yale Avenue in Columbus, Ohio, was set on fire while the occupants slept. The victims were 61-year-old Deanna Perry, Charles Climer, and a 7-month-old infant, Brianna Smith; two other residents had reportedly left for work shortly before the blaze. The Columbus Police Department has classified the incident as arson and opened a triple homicide investigation that remains unsolved.

Authorities have repeatedly appealed to the public for information and Crime Stoppers has increased the reward for tips. Investigators are particularly interested in anyone who saw suspicious activity near the property around the time of the fire or who heard conversations suggesting involvement. If anyone knew Charles or has information about that night, please contact the Columbus Police or submit an anonymous tip through the P3 Tips app or the dedicated hotline.
