Even Columbo couldn't solve Barbra Colby's death.

Barbra Colby
She was an actress, known for her roles on The Odd Couple, Kung Fu Gun Smoke, the Mary Tyler Moore Show and Phyllis.
Her first important television role was in the series premiere episode of Columbo.
She was born July 2, 1939, in New York City.
On July 24, 1975 Colby, 36,  and colleague James Kiernan were walking to their car following an acting class in Venice, Los Angeles, California.
They were shot inside a parking area. Colby was killed instantly, but Kiernan was able to describe the shooting to police before he later died of his wounds.He said that he did not recognize the two men who shot them.
He also stated that the shooting had occurred without warning, reason or provocation.
Police concurred because there was no attempt to rob the pair and concluded that it was a random drive-by shooting or a targeted killing.

At the time of her death, Colby was separated from her husband, Bob Levitt.
The killers were never identified and the case remains unsolved.
