Michael David Moreno, a 30-year-old man from Columbus, OH, was found dead behind a home on the Hilltop on December 15, 2016. The body was discovered by officers responding to a report of a body lying in an alley at 10:03 p.m. The victim was confirmed dead a few minutes later. The cause of death was determined to be homicide, and the case was classified as the 98th homicide of 2016.
Despite an extensive investigation, Columbus police have not identified any suspects or motives related to
Moreno's death. Several possible witnesses were questioned, including one who initially refused to cooperate with the authorities. The investigation remains open, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Columbus Police Homicide Unit or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers.
The lack of suspects or a clear motive has made this case particularly challenging for law enforcement. The community continues to seek justice for Michael David Moreno, hoping that new information will eventually lead to the resolution of this tragic case.
