Jamiel Jackson was 19 when his body was found on the ground in the 4300 block of Tyler Avenue on Detroit’s west side in the early morning of Saturday, December 20, 2014. A neighbor spotted him around 7:40 a.m. and called emergency services; officers found him unresponsive and he was later determined to have been shot in the head. His death was ruled a homicide.

Originally from Sterling Heights, Jamiel had been visiting a friend in Detroit. Investigators say his cellphone was missing and believe theft of that phone was the motive. He was wearing dark blue jeans, a gray hooded sweatshirt, and black sneakers. Family members described him as outgoing, popular, and someone who loved sports and people.

No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced, and the case remains unsolved. His family has hired a private investigator and, with community activists, has canvassed the neighborhood; Crime Stoppers of Michigan has offered a cash reward for information leading to an arrest. Does anyone who lived near Tyler Avenue in December 2014 remember seeing anything that could help identify who took his phone or who was in the area that morning?
