Authorities responded to reports of a shooting, and Boyce was found suffering from a gunshot wound. Despite efforts to identify his killer, his homicide remains unsolved. The Columbus Police Department continues to investigate the case, and the Ohio Attorney General's Office has featured it on their list of unsolved homicides in hopes of gathering more
information from the public.
In the years since Boyce's death, local and federal law enforcement have collaborated to seek information about multiple unsolved homicides in the region, including that of Byron Boyce. Authorities have noted that there may be “common threads” among several cases from around the same time period, hinting at the possibility of connections between the incidents. A task force was established to investigate these homicides, which have involved similar circumstances, and a tip line was set up for the public to share any potential leads.
The case of Byron Boyce remains open, and law enforcement encourages anyone with information to come forward, in hopes of bringing justice for Byron and his family. Community involvement and anonymous tips are vital components of solving such cold cases, and authorities are hopeful that renewed interest and public support can provide crucial insights.
