Alton Burton was 23 when he was fatally shot outside a house in the 1700 block of Edwards Avenue NE in Canton, Ohio, on June 25, 2017. The shooting remains unsolved and no arrests have been announced in connection with his death.

Burton’s killing was one of many unsolved homicides in the city at the time; at least seven of seventeen homicides from the previous year were still unresolved. His mother has said that at least one person could identify the shooter or shooters, but investigators have not filed charges. Canton police continue to list the case among unresolved violent crimes, and the family and community have expressed frustration at the lack of answers.
