James Belk, a 34-year-old African-American man, was killed on March 31, 2015, at 15922 Woodingham in Detroit. His death was investigated by the Detroit Police Department’s Murder Bureau during a period when the city was seeing a sharp rise in violent crime and the department was stretched thin.

No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests were made; the case went cold and has since been assigned to Detroit’s Cold Case Unit for re-examination. Authorities hope that new forensic techniques or information from the public might produce a break in this unsolved death by force.

If anyone knew James, saw activity around Woodingham on March 31, 2015, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
