Jay D. Scott (August 21, 1952 – June 14, 2001) was executed by the U.S. state of Ohio for the 1983 murder of a delicatessen owner in Cleveland. He was the second man put to death by Ohio since it reinstated capital punishment in 1981 and the first to be executed involuntarily. The day after Price's murder, Jay participated in the robbery-slaying of Alexander Jones. He was later sentenced to death in that case, but the sentence was reduced to life on appeal.
