Monte Thurmond, 38, was severely beaten in an altercation on November 29, 1990, near 306 East 6th Street in Lima, Ohio, at about 10:15 p.m. He suffered serious injuries that left him in a prolonged coma; although he survived for years afterward, he died in 2007 and the coroner ruled his death a homicide caused by those 1990 injuries.

The case remains unsolved and is listed as a cold case with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. The Lima Police Department continues to investigate, and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation is accepting tips related to the assault and those responsible.
