On February 9, 2003, 22-year-old Lamonty Harris was fatally shot at 867 Reynolds Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. The incident occurred in Franklin County, and it remains an unsolved homicide. The Columbus Police Department investigated the shooting, but no resolution has been reached, leaving the case open for years without closure. Harris sustained a gunshot wound, which resulted in his death on the same day.
The neighborhood where the homicide occurred has had its share of challenges with crime, and this tragic event added to the broader concerns regarding safety in certain parts of Columbus. Central Ohio Crime Stoppers, along with the Columbus police, have periodically called for any information that could assist in solving this cold case, emphasizing the importance of public assistance in unsolved investigations.
Despite these efforts, no suspect has been formally identified or charged in connection with Harris's death. Authorities still hope that someone in the community may come forward with information that could shed light on what transpired that day. The Ohio Attorney General’s office has made a public appeal for tips, urging anyone with knowledge of the incident to step forward.
