Kenneth Nelson, a Black man, was killed on February 19, 1989, in Columbus, Ohio. His body was found behind 2701 McGuffey Road in Franklin County with multiple injuries, including gunshot wounds to his face and back, and he died that same day. The Columbus Police Department investigated, but no arrest has been announced and the case remains unsolved.

The Ohio Attorney General’s Office and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation have listed Nelson’s homicide in their cold case database and are encouraging community tips. Authorities say even small pieces of information could help link this case to other unsolved homicides or produce new leads that bring closure to his family.
