Samuel Johnson III, 30, was found bludgeoned to death in his Akron home on September 13, 1998. His body was discovered on the living room couch at 582 Euclid Avenue in Summit County; the death was officially ruled a homicide and the scene suggested a violent attack.

There have been no arrests or identified suspects. The Akron Police Department, assisted by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, and the Ohio Attorney General’s Cold Case Unit have publicized the case and are seeking tips. Authorities say progress has been limited and hope increased exposure or a small piece of information will produce a lead.

What details do readers remember about Euclid Avenue or the neighborhood around that time that might help investigators?
