On August 18, 2003, 44-year-old Amerrintha Spikes was found dead on a warehouse loading dock at 416 Livingston Street in Cincinnati, Ohio, having sustained multiple stab wounds. Police located her after an emergency call and described the scene as a violent homicide.

John Long was arrested and later convicted in 2004. Court records say several witnesses identified Long; one witness, Shelise Gilmore, reportedly had been with Long that night and pointed to him as the man seen fleeing. A nearby security guard also said he saw a blood-covered man matching Long’s description trying to enter a nearby building. Defense filings alleged the investigation was mishandled and that potentially exculpatory DNA testing was not disclosed, and trial testimony included contradictory witness statements that complicated the record.

The conviction stood and Long was sentenced for Spikes’ murder, and the case has moved through appeals. Does anyone have information about Amerrintha Spikes, the location on Livingston Street, or the night of August 18, 2003?
