Joshua Anthony Mejias, born November 16, 1988, died in Detroit in late summer 2012. Official records list his date of death as August 26, 2012, although his obituary gives August 31, 2012. He was 23 when an incident on the night of August 26 on Michigan Avenue resulted in a homicide.

Investigators faced conflicting accounts from six different witnesses, and those discrepancies prevented a clear reconstruction of the night’s events. Strain on Detroit’s justice system at the time further hampered progress; no definitive suspect or arrest is recorded and the investigation eventually went cold. The case is still discussed online among people who remember Joshua and those following unsolved homicides.

If anyone has information about Joshua, the night of August 26 on Michigan Avenue, or the people who were present, please share what is known.
