NBC 4: There have been 16 homicides in Columbus so far in 2009. So far, eight have been solved, but there are still eight more under investigation—and police need your help... “People should know it’s not a personnel issue. It’s not an issue other than time sensitivity and have a successful prosecution as well,“ said Columbus police Sgt. Rich Weiner.
Police also need help from the public to help solve crimes throughout the city. With a 50 percent arrest ratio in 2009, detectives still hope for any leads or evidence that will lead to an arrest for any unsolved homicides. On Jan. 19, a man walked into his home on Oak Street to find his roommate, Gary Lash, shot to death. Police do not have a suspect. The next day on Sofia Court, a woman was found murdered inside her west-side home.
Police have not released details on how it happened, nor have they made an arrest. On Feb. 7, a fight near the campus of The Ohio State University claimed the life of 28-year-old Christian Lodge, who was found with head trauma. Police have made no arrests. “If homicide detectives can’t solve the case, it will then go to our cold case unit and they will take a look at those,“ Weiner said.
