On March 18, 1997, 19-year-old Ohio State University student Kyle Schaulin was shot and killed inside his East 11th Avenue apartment in Columbus, Ohio. Three men entered the residence about 11 a.m.; they confronted Schaulin in his bedroom and a struggle took place during which he was shot. Roommates who were present that morning witnessed the men entering, but the three suspects have not been identified.

Investigators believe Schaulin’s involvement in marijuana dealing was connected to a motive, and detectives have treated the killing as a possible targeted robbery. Despite multiple eyewitnesses and numerous leads pursued over the years, no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved as part of a group of violent incidents affecting the campus area at that time.

Anyone who has information about Schaulin’s homicide is asked to contact the Columbus Police Department.
