On April 5, 1995, Raymond Cheeks, age thirty-three, was found dead in a field east of 1850 E. 25th Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. He had sustained a gunshot wound, which was determined to be the cause of death.

The Columbus Police Department investigated, and the case was later placed in the Ohio Attorney General’s cold case database. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation has helped bring the case to broader attention, but no viable leads or public details about suspects or motive have been released. The investigation remained unsolved for nearly three decades.

If anyone has information about Raymond Cheeks’ death or remembers events around April 5, 1995, please contact Columbus authorities with any details that might help advance the case.
