Felecia Goodsen-Battle, 44, was shot and killed on January 5, 2006, in Dayton, Ohio, one of two women murdered that morning. Elizabeth Davis was shot and killed inside a kitchen on Vernon Drive. Felecia attempted to flee and was pursued to the porch of a nearby home on Grand Avenue, where she was shot in the back of the head.

In 2015 a suspect, Velis S. Nelson (also known as Willie Dixon), was arrested and charged with multiple counts related to the homicides, but a grand jury later declined to indict him and he was released. Nelson’s record includes a conviction for aggravated robbery in 2008. The Dayton Police Department and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation continue to seek leads, and family members have held vigils to honor Felecia and raise awareness about the unsolved killings.

If anyone has information that could help bring justice for Felecia and the other victim, please share what you know with investigators.
