Frenchman Minniefield, 23, was shot and killed on January 8, 2004, in Hamilton, Ohio, near South Second Street and South Front Street. The shooting occurred about 1:30 a.m. near Mahogany’s bar; police responded after multiple calls about a disturbance. Minniefield was found deceased roughly half a block from the bar after fleeing the scene following the gunfire.

Witnesses described a chaotic scene with significant yelling and commotion, but cooperation with the investigation has been limited and the homicide remains unsolved. Family remember Minniefield as vibrant and outgoing; his father, Gregory Minniefield, said he left behind four children and urged that someone come forward with information. The Hamilton Police Department is asking anyone with details, even small tips, to contact them.

If anyone was in the area that night or knew Frenchman’s movements, please share what you know with investigators.
