Do you know who murdered Judith Frum?
Judith Frum, a 59-year-old resident of Columbus, Ohio, was tragically killed on January 2, 2016. On that evening at approximately 7:30 p.m., police officers responded to reports of a shooting in the area of Fair Avenue and Napoleon Avenue in Franklin County. When they arrived, they found Judith Frum lying in the roadway with gunshot wounds. She was transported to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead shortly afterward. This incident was the first recorded homicide in Columbus in 2016.

Judith had been walking near her East Side residence when she was shot by an unknown assailant. Initially, responding officers believed she may have been struck by a car, but it was later confirmed that she had been fatally shot. The identity of the shooter and the circumstances surrounding her death remain unknown, and the case has since remained unsolved. The Columbus Police Department has continued to investigate the case, urging anyone with information to come forward and help bring those responsible to justice.

This tragic case is part of an ongoing effort by Ohio authorities to highlight unsolved homicides. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and local law enforcement agencies have appealed to the public for information, with hopes of shedding new light on the circumstances of Judith's death and offering some sense of closure to her grieving family.
