Jeffrey Hagler, 39, was found dead in Detroit on June 20, 2016, after a passerby noticed a white Buick Century abandoned in an alley with an arm hanging from the trunk. The discovery was photographed and circulated on social media, and Hagler’s father, Jeff Davis, learned of the death that way. The family reports they had spent Father’s Day together the day before.

An autopsy determined Hagler had been beaten and died of multiple gunshot wounds; police ruled the death a homicide. Family members think a random robbery could have been the motive, but investigators indicated there may be more to the circumstances. Authorities initially reported no suspects or definitive motive. Hagler was a father of three and was reportedly working for a local auto parts supplier; his family says he had turned his life around after earlier drug-related convictions. The last reported detail of his final hours was a phone call he received from a woman before he was killed.

No arrests or public breakthroughs have been announced and the case remains listed as an unsolved homicide. If anyone knew Jeffrey, saw the white Buick Century in Detroit around June 20, 2016, or has information, please come forward.
