On August 3, 1984, 39-year-old Alan Howard was attacked by a group of individuals at the northeast corner of Grahm Street and Mt. Vernon Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. After the assault, Howard was transported to St. Anthony's hospital, where he unfortunately succumbed to his injuries due to a blood clot. Despite ongoing investigations by the Columbus Police Department, this case remains unsolved, and no suspects have been arrested.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), in partnership with local law enforcement, continues to highlight this case as part of its efforts to resolve unsolved homicides. By bringing attention to cold cases like Howard's, BCI aims to encourage members of the public to come forward with any information that could lead to identifying those responsible and ultimately bring justice and closure for the victim’s loved ones. Authorities are still seeking tips from anyone who may have information about the events surrounding Alan Howard's death. Individuals can contact the Ohio Attorney General's Office or submit a tip through their website.
