Dontario Boyd, a 35-year-old resident of Columbus, Ohio, was killed on November 24, 2010. His homicide remains unsolved and is listed in the Ohio Attorney General’s database of unsolved homicides.

Local investigators have not announced any arrests. The Columbus Police Department’s Cold Case Unit is among the agencies revisiting Boyd’s file, working with state partners such as the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation to apply modern forensic techniques, including DNA testing, and to re-interview potential witnesses. Investigators say degradation of evidence and locating witnesses years after the fact have made many Columbus cold cases difficult to resolve.

Tips from the public are being sought to help bring closure to Boyd’s family and hold those responsible accountable. If anyone has information about Dontario Boyd’s death or remembers events from November 24, 2010, please come forward.
