Martin R. Nooks, 29, was fatally shot behind his home in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio, on August 10, 2001, at about 2:24 a.m. Authorities describe the killing as an apparent targeted shooting; motives and the identities of the gunmen remain unknown.

Dayton Police and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation have both been involved, and the case has been listed among Ohio’s unsolved homicides. Despite appeals to the public and the maintenance of a BCI public database to solicit tips, no suspects have been identified and investigators report few significant leads. Nooks’ family and community continue to seek answers and justice for his death.

Did anyone in Dayton remember activity behind homes in that neighborhood around that early morning in August 2001?
