Luis Orlando Morales, known as Lando, was 30 when he was found dead the morning of July 12, 2007, in front of his apartment at 4434 East Mound Street in Whitehall, Ohio. His body was discovered among parked cars in the residential area after he suffered multiple stab wounds. Morales was originally from El Salvador, a legal U.S. resident, and worked for a local catering service.

Whitehall had notably high violent-crime rates in 2007, and Morales’s killing remains one of several unsolved homicides in the community. The Whitehall Police Department and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation have appealed for information and continue to seek leads. If anyone knew Luis, his routines, or saw anything in that neighborhood around July 12, 2007, please come forward with information.
