A man is shot in the face and dies On February 26, 1993, Diethelm Baumann, a 30-year-old German national, was fatally shot in the face outside the Lafayette Club on Canal Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. Despite the presence of several people at the scene and a busy club nearby, no one was able to definitively identify the shooter. According to police, Baumann's female companion described the suspect as a white male with dark hair and a mustache, who was last seen driving away in a pickup truck covered in snow.
The
investigation into Baumann's death was extensive but yielded no arrests. The circumstances surrounding the murder remain a mystery, and investigators have not determined whether Baumann knew his assailant or if it was a random act of violence. Despite efforts by the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit and local police, Baumann's case remains unsolved. Authorities continue to appeal to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in this decades-old case.
