Kevin Brame, a 31-year-old Dayton Police Officer, was tragically murdered on November 1, 1999, in Dayton, Ohio. Brame, a six-year veteran of the police force, was ambushed and shot outside his estranged wife's residence on Cherry Drive while he was off duty. He was returning his two children after a visitation when an unknown assailant fatally shot him in the neck as he was about to enter his vehicle. Notably, Brame had his service weapon and other belongings on him, which indicated that robbery was not a motive for the crime.
This homicide remains unsolved, and both the Dayton Police Department and the FBI have continued their efforts to seek justice for Officer Brame. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $15,000 for information that could lead to the arrest of those responsible. Over the years, Brame's family, including his mother, Rosemary Brame, has actively sought answers and justice, keeping his memory alive in hopes of encouraging anyone with information to come forward.
Authorities are still appealing to the public for any tips that could help solve the case, and individuals are encouraged to contact the FBI or Miami Valley Crime Stoppers to provide any potential information that could bring closure to this tragic incident.
