Alvin Hampton was 22 when he was found shot multiple times on August 22, 2006, at 1859 Belcher Drive in Columbus, Ohio. The Columbus Police Department investigated, and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation classifies the death as an open homicide; the case has been added to Ohio’s unsolved homicide database to boost visibility and generate leads.

Investigators have noted that Hampton tested positive for cocaine at the time of his death, a fact that later affected a reparations claim by his family because state law bars compensation when the victim was engaged in conduct constituting a felony. Despite that complication, law enforcement and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone have information about Hampton, his activities in August 2006, or who might have been responsible?
