Ronald Alls

Ronald Alls was a 21-year-old man from Columbus, Ohio. Public records that identify him by name note his connection to the Columbus community and record his death on September 24, 1992. Though there is no published, family-authorized obituary located in public archives that matches his name and that exact date of death, the records confirm that Ronald was a real person whose life was part of his neighborhood and the wider city.

Because formal memorial notices are not available in the accessible public sources, this remembrance focuses on acknowledging Ronald as an individual: a young Black man in his early twenties with family, friends, neighbors, and aspirations he carried into each day. While the historical public record for Ronald is limited, it is important to recognize that behind every brief case listing or database entry there was a circle of people who knew him — people who loved him, who shared ordinary moments with him, and who felt his loss.

Ronald’s death on September 24, 1992, is recorded in law-enforcement cold-case listings. That fact is included here only to establish the record; it does not define him. This page honors Ronald’s existence and the human dignity he carried. If members of Ronald’s family or friends wish to provide photographs, memories, or additional details to make this remembrance richer and more personal, those contributions would help ensure he is remembered for more than a line in a report.

To those who knew Ronald, may this short page serve as a place of quiet recognition that his life mattered. The public record may be spare, but the fact of his humanity is not.
