Austin Pierson was a 20-year-old Black man from Detroit whose death on July 12, 2015 has been classified as a homicide, recorded in some databases as death by force or murder. His killing added to the city’s ongoing tally of violent deaths and left friends and family without answers.

No arrests or convictions have been reported and no suspects have been publicly named. The Detroit Police Department and local crime listings show the investigation has gone cold, and community members and online groups have periodically shared his name seeking new tips.

Does anyone have information about Austin, his movements on or around July 12, 2015, or contacts who might help investigators move this case forward?
