State-of-the-art forensic testing will the used in an effort to unravel the shooting death of a man whose partially dismembered body was found stuffed in a barrel over 50 years ago in Cleveland.
The man’s death, authorities believe, may have ties to the Black Panther Party, which was active in the 1960s in Cleveland.
The victim was a young, black man who had been shot nine times. His body was found inside a 55-gallon barrel in the 3100 block of East 82nd Street.
