Seventeen-year-old Tommy Cooper was shot and killed on January 15, 1991, in Columbus, Ohio. He was found outside an apartment at 879 East Mound Street with a fatal gunshot wound to his left side. There were no immediate witnesses who reported arguments or disturbances before the shooting, and authorities say the exact circumstances remain unclear.

Investigators have noted possible connections between Cooper and drug-related activity and believe an ambush element may indicate he was targeted, but no arrests have been made. The case remains under investigation by the Columbus Police Department and the Ohio Attorney General’s office. If anyone has information about Tommy, his movements that night, or the area around East Mound Street, please come forward.
