Clifford Jackson, a Columbus, Ohio resident, was killed on May 26, 1983. His death has been ruled a homicide and remains unsolved; state records now list the investigation as a cold case. The local police led the original inquiry but were unable to develop significant leads, and investigators say there are no identified suspects and limited forensic evidence from the time of the crime.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office keep Jackson’s case visible among other unsolved homicides in the hope that renewed attention, new technologies, or memories from the public might produce tips. Anyone who has information, however small, that could connect to Jackson’s death is asked to contact the Columbus Police Department or the state tip line.
