On the late evening of March 26, 1992, 23-year-old Floyd Davis of Cincinnati was fatally shot in the basement of his home at 3455 Jay Street. Davis was found with a gunshot wound; two others who were present that night survived with injuries — his friend Rodney Douglas and a minor. The suspect was described as a Black male, but no arrest was made at the time and the case remained unsolved.

Davis had faced criminal charges from a December 1991 violent incident he said was self-defense and was due in court when he was killed. More than a year after the homicide the residence was searched again by Cincinnati police and a SWAT team in connection with another investigation, but that activity did not bring the case to resolution. The Ohio Attorney General’s office still lists the case.

Anyone with information about the shooting or who knew Davis, Douglas, or others connected to 3455 Jay Street is asked to come forward.
