On November 22, 1994, Tyun Marshall, an 18-year-old male, was fatally shot in Columbus, Ohio. The incident occurred at the intersection of Carpenter and E. Mound Streets in Franklin County. Tyun suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene. Despite investigations by the Columbus Police Department, this tragic case remains unsolved, and authorities have not been able to identify the perpetrator.
The Columbus Police Department, with the assistance of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), has included Tyun's case among its unsolved homicides in an effort to garner new leads and encourage community members to come forward with information. BCI aims to increase public visibility for cases like Tyun's by highlighting them through the Ohio Attorney General's Office, which allows for more opportunities for new information to come to light. Authorities are seeking help from anyone who may have knowledge regarding the circumstances of Tyun’s death to provide information that could help bring justice to his family.
The case is representative of the broader challenges faced by law enforcement in solving homicides from the 1990s, particularly those where evidence and witnesses are scarce. Despite the passage of time, investigators continue to hold out hope that new leads or advancements in forensic science may eventually provide answers regarding what happened on that fateful day in 1994.
