Johnathan Sims was a 21-year-old African-American man from Detroit who was killed on June 21, 2014. His death is recorded as a homicide during a period when the city faced high levels of violent crime and stretched police resources.

The Detroit Police Department’s caseload and investigative challenges from that era meant many homicides grew cold as leads dwindled and witnesses were often reluctant to come forward. No public information indicates an arrest was made in Sims’s case, and it appears to remain unsolved.

Johnathan’s death is one of many that left families seeking answers without closure. If anyone knew Johnathan, saw or heard anything about the night of June 21, 2014, or has information that could help, please come forward.
