His body was dismembered and stuffed in a barrel. Cleveland investigators weren’t able to determine the identity of this young Black man whose life met such a gruesome end in August 1969, though they thought his death might have been tied to the Black Panthers or Black nationalist movement. The Porchlight Project, an Akron group that tries to shine new light on cold cases, has taken on this case as its next mystery. “This is a piece of Cleveland history that remains untold,” said James Renner, the Akron author who heads the Porchlight Project. “We’re excited to provide the means to finally give a name to this man so that we can learn how he came to be here and who may have wanted him dead.”
