Dayton €“ It has been
13 years since Kevin Brame, a Dayton Police officer was brutally murdered. His
case remains unsolved, but a new initiative by the Ohio Attorney General€™s
Office is giving his family new hope. 







 It€™s an online
database which showcases the more than 1,000 cold case homicides in Ohio. You
can reach it by clicking here.Brame is one of the
376 cases from the Dayton Police Department. He was murdered November 1, 1999. His
case is being featured for the month of February, which was the month of his
birthday.



Rosemary Brame, Kevin€™s
mother, says it breaks her heart to know her son€™s killer(s) are still on the
loose.



He was just a
really good guy, had great friends,€ she said. €œI remember the day he died,
such a terrible day, worst day of my life, to lose a child it is the worst loss
a parent can have.€



However, Brame isn€™t
giving up hope to find her son€™s killer. She has launched a website called, €œJustice
for Kevin Brame,€ where she shares his story and gives people the chance to
send any tips about her son€™s case. 



She hopes the website
launched by the Ohio Attorney General, Mike Dewine will bring answers to her
son€™s case. 







€œI try to do
everything I can to keep his case in front of the public so that they don€™t
forget. We know that there are people in Dayton that have information that
could solve his case and we just hope one day someone will come forward and tell
what they know,€ Brame said. She€™s making sure her
son€™s memory lives on and turning this tragedy into something positive. On
Sunday, February 24, she is hosting a Community Fund Bowling Benefit. It will
be at Capri Lanes on South Dixie Highway in Dayton. Tickets are $20. The
proceeds will go to a scholarship for a Sinclair Community College student
pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice and to the Special Wish Foundation,
Dayton Chapter. 







Anyone is welcome and
if you have tips regarding her son€™s murder, please call Dayton Police at
333-COPS.
