Ronald Messer, a 24-year-old resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, was tragically killed on December 29, 1971. He was shot at 20 East Liberty Street in Cincinnati, in what remains an unsolved homicide. The incident took place late at night, and despite the Cincinnati Police Department's efforts, no suspects have been apprehended in connection with the crime.
The Ohio Attorney General's office lists this case as a cold case, continuing to appeal for public assistance to uncover new information that might help solve the crime.
Ronald Messer's case remains part of a broader effort by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) to shed light on unresolved homicides. Investigators have continuously worked to bring more visibility to these cases, hoping that someone in the community may have crucial information that could lead to solving them. Messer's death, like many other cold cases, is a painful reminder of the challenges faced in solving homicides without eyewitnesses or sufficient leads. The Cincinnati Police and BCI remain committed to finding answers for Ronald Messer's family.
