A Detroit family’s concern on November 4, 2013, led to the discovery of 48-year-old Dwayne Green dead in his Barlum Street home. Relatives had gone to check on him after he missed work as a maintenance supervisor at Greater Grace Temple and found the front door slightly open and Green lying on the floor with gunshot wounds. Some accounts say he was shot once in the back of the head; others report multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators found no signs of forced entry and opened a homicide investigation.

Green was the father of two adult children and the brother-in-law of Bishop Charles Ellis III of Greater Grace Temple; that connection brought increased attention to the case. No arrests have been reported and the homicide remains unsolved; Crime Stoppers has offered a reward for information. If anyone knew Green, his routines, or saw anything around Barlum Street on or before November 4, 2013, please come forward with tips.
