Calvin Upchurch Jr., 19, was found shot and killed on the front porch of a vacant house in the 800 block of Seymour Avenue on Columbus’s east side on August 10, 2010. He was discovered at about 7:30 a.m. and pronounced dead shortly afterward. The property had a history of drug-related activity and neighbors described the neighborhood as like a warzone, with gunfire heard day and night; shots were reported by neighbors earlier that morning though police were not called until Calvin’s body was located.

Calvin’s death compounded family tragedy: five years earlier his 11-year-old sister Da’Aunte Upchurch had been struck by a stray bullet while watching television at home. His father, now a minister, said Calvin had gotten involved with the wrong crowd despite efforts to steer him away from danger. The investigation remained open with no arrests announced at the time.

If anyone has information about the shooting on Seymour Avenue that morning, please come forward.
