Ronnie Cole was 14 when he died in San Bernardino, California, on August 24, 1983. His death was reported as a homicide and prompted a local investigation, but the case remained unsolved for a significant period.

Investigators developed several leads and questioned multiple people; some were even brought to trial, but none of the proceedings produced definitive evidence leading to a conviction. Over the years the inquiry saw occasional renewed interest when new evidence or witness statements surfaced, yet no breakthrough produced a conclusive result. The community held vigils and memorials in Ronnie’s memory as the investigation continued without resolution.

What information about Ronnie’s life, last known movements, or the people he associated with might still help move this case forward?
