Gino DiLorenzo was 31 when he was fatally shot after arriving at his home on Harrison Street in Johnston, Rhode Island, on December 26, 1979. The killing was sudden and investigators from the Johnston Police Department opened a homicide inquiry, but no suspects were identified and no arrests were made.

Over the years the investigation grew cold and specific details about leads or motive have not been disclosed publicly. DiLorenzo’s death remains an open, unsolved homicide and his family continues to remember him while questions about that December night linger.

If anyone knew Gino, saw activity on Harrison Street that evening, or has information that could help, please come forward to the Johnston Police Department.
