If the cause of death is directly attributable to the injuries received in the original assault, yes. Probably manslaughter rather than homicide though.

Can a suspect be tried for murder 20 years later if a victim died from the injuries?

Murder has no statute of limitations, but I'm not sure about manslaughter. However, the coroner would have had to decide the injuries were the direct result of another person's actions. A jury at a coroner's inquest would need to agree that the death was likely a crime. The prosecutor would have to decide whether the case rose to the level of manslaughter or murder and any qualifications specified, for example, a weapons charge. With the little information you've given, it's hard to give more than a general answer. Consult the county prosecutor and a private attorney.
