Roger Walker was 34 when he was killed in Columbus, Ohio, on May 21, 1979. His body was found on the sidewalk along West Town Street with a fatal gunshot wound; passersby discovered him after the shooting. Law enforcement officers responded but, according to the Ohio Attorney General’s office, there were no witnesses who could provide solid leads about what happened prior to the shooting.

No arrests have been made and the Columbus Police Department still lists the case as an open investigation. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and local police include Walker’s murder among unsolved homicides they highlight in hopes that new information from the public might help bring justice to his family.
