Roy Addison was 39 when he was shot dead outside a residence on Baughman Street in Akron, Ohio, on April 12, 2002. He and Jeanette Bartee were both killed execution-style that day, and investigators treated the two deaths as connected. The daytime slaying of Addison shocked the neighborhood and intensified calls for answers, but no suspects were identified at the time and the case remains unsolved.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation keeps Addison’s homicide listed among its unsolved cases, and the Akron Police Department continued investigating possible motives and links between the two killings. Anyone with information that could help bring clarity to what happened is asked to contact law enforcement or the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.
