David Griffin was a 31-year-old Black man whose life was cut short in Columbus, Ohio, in the spring of 2003.
On Tuesday, April 22, 2003, an incident took place at 129 N. Guilford Ave. in the city's Franklin County area. During the event, Griffin suffered gunshot wounds to his chest and abdomen. He died from his injuries that same day.
The Columbus Police Department immediately began a homicide investigation into the shooting. However, as the years passed without a resolution, the case grew cold. No suspects have ever been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made in connection with Griffin's death. The specific circumstances and motive behind the shooting remain unknown.
David Griffin's murder remains unsolved. His case is listed by the Ohio Attorney General's office in its public appeal for information on unsolved homicides. Anyone with additional information regarding this case is asked to contact the Columbus Police Department.
