Jo Ann Akins was 27 when she was shot and killed at her Cincinnati home at 1637 Hughes Street on December 6, 1978. The Cincinnati Police Department investigated the killing, and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office lists the case among unsolved homicides.

Authorities have publicly appealed for information and say tips from anyone with knowledge, even seemingly minor, could be useful.

If anyone knew Jo Ann, lived on Hughes Street, or has information about that night, please come forward to assist the investigation.
