Demetrius Griffin was 21 when his body was found in the flooded basement of a vacant house on Detroit’s west side in the autumn of 2014. A tip led police to the home on a Monday afternoon in early November; the Detroit Police Underwater Recovery Team recovered his body from several feet of water. An autopsy confirmed he had been fatally shot in the chest.

Neighbors worried about dangers posed by abandoned homes, and investigators believed Griffin’s body had been in the watery basement for a significant amount of time before he was discovered. The Detroit Police Department handled the investigation, but public reports since then have not detailed any arrests or named suspects, and there have been no public announcements of charges, trials, or convictions related to the killing.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or with information about vacant houses on that block in 2014 ever see or hear anything that could help explain what happened to Demetrius Griffin?
