On February 3, 1973, Eddie Herring, 35, and his wife Sharon were shot to death in their Dayton, Ohio, home. Eddie was a well-known nightclub singer who had performed in Dayton since his teens and had been a member of the doo-wop group The Dominoes, touring nationally and internationally during his career.

According to reports, a tall, thin man dressed in black arrived at the Herrings’ home carrying a 12-gauge shotgun. Eddie let the man in; their young daughter was sent to her bedroom and later heard shots, then escaped through a window to get help. Eddie fired his handgun in defense but appeared not to hit the assailant. Sharon was shot through a door while trying to protect their daughter.

The case remains unsolved and is listed as a cold case by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation; authorities have appealed for information. If anyone knew the Herrings, saw a suspicious man in that neighborhood on February 3, 1973, or has information that could help, please contact the Dayton Police Department or submit a tip to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.
