Zion Baptist Church will host a community blood drive in honor of officer Kevin Brame, according to a Solvita spokesperson.

Brame was shot in the line of duty in 1999 and the case remains unsolved to this day.

The blood drive will be held on May 18 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the 1800 block of Earlham Drive

News Center 7 reported last month that Dayton police investigators announced a new effort to find Officer Brame’s killer.

The department said it assigned two investigators to the case last year.

They wanted to look at the case from a new perspective, a Dayton police spokesman said.

In 1999, someone attacked Brame after he abandoned his two young sons to his estranged wife’s sons.

The first blood drive in honor of Officer Brame took place last year.

“I thought it was very fitting because he was all about service and dedicated his life to serving as a police officer in this community,” said Rosemary Brame, Officer Brame’s mother.
