Derrick Neal was 26 when he was fatally shot on May 28, 2014, on the streets of Detroit, Michigan. His death occurred during a period of high homicide levels that strained the city’s investigative resources.

From the start the investigation faced obstacles: investigators reported a lack of evidence and witnesses were reluctant to come forward, a common problem in the city at that time. The Detroit Police Department later established cold case units to re-examine unsolved homicides, including cases like Neal’s.

If anyone knew Derrick Neal or has information about what happened on May 28, 2014, please come forward and share what you know.
