On May 16, 1994, Raymond Ogle and Arthur Works were shot to death after business hours at J.R. Motor Sales, a car dealership on West Third Street in Dayton, Ohio. There were no signs of robbery at the scene, and investigators treating the location as a crime scene believe the killings were personal in motive. Raymond, a former Indiana police officer who managed the Dayton lot, and Arthur, a father of six and a church deacon, were both killed while working at the dealership.

Investigators developed a few leads over the years. Ten days before the murders Raymond was involved in a fight reportedly tied to a woman he had been seeing. That woman was said to have connections to a local crime boss and to be involved with a major Dayton-area drug dealer; witnesses said Raymond had taken her to a racetrack in Lebanon. Detectives have not been able to conclusively tie anyone to the shootings, and the case remains unsolved. Raymond’s daughter and other family members continue to seek answers.

If anyone has information about Raymond Ogle, Arthur Works, or the events around May 16, 1994, please contact the detective handling the case.
