Abel H. Beyene, 30, was found shot to death on January 6, 2018, inside a running car in a South Linden backyard in Columbus, Ohio. A resident noticed the vehicle running with its lights on and called police at 7:21 a.m.; officers discovered Beyene in the driver’s seat with gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

No suspects have been identified and the investigation remains open. Anyone with information is asked to contact Columbus police or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers — did anyone in South Linden see that car or notice activity around 7 a.m. on January 6, 2018?
