William Forsberg, 46, was shot to death with a .22 caliber pistol in the early morning hours of February 15, 1976, at his apartment at 6805 Mayfield Road in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. Investigators say an unknown assailant entered the apartment and lay in wait until Forsberg returned home; nothing was taken from the residence, a detail that led police to note the killing may not have been a robbery.

The case remains unsolved and is classified as a cold case by the Ohio Attorney General’s office. The Mayfield Heights Police Department has continued to investigate and is asking the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough.

If anyone knew William, his movements that night, or has information about who might have had a reason to target him, please contact the Mayfield Heights Police Department.
