Peggy Harris was 29 when she was found shot to death at her home on East Mound Street in Columbus, Ohio, on January 15, 1991. She died of a gunshot wound to her left side; police treated the incident as a homicide from the start. No witnesses reported hearing an argument or commotion, suggesting the shooting may have been a surprise attack.

A 17-year-old, Tommy Cooper, was also shot in the same incident. Reports noted speculation that Cooper had been involved in drug activity, and investigators have considered that as a possible factor in the crime’s motive. Despite investigations by the Columbus Police Department and attention from the Ohio Attorney General’s cold case listings, clear leads have not emerged and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone with information about what happened at the East Mound Street residence on January 15, 1991, is asked to contact investigators.
