Isaiah Black was 31 when he was found dead in Montgomery County, Ohio, on September 6, 1973. The Dayton Police Department handled the initial investigation, but no suspects have been identified and the killing remains unsolved.

The case is included in the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s database of unsolved homicides; the BCI is seeking public tips to help generate new leads. Isaiah Black’s memorial is listed on Find a Grave, which records his legacy.

Very little about the circumstances of his death is publicly described, and investigators continue to lack key leads. If anyone has information about Isaiah Black, where he was in early September 1973, or any details that might help, please contact the appropriate local authorities.
