Charles Oldham, a 48-year-old African American man, was killed in Detroit on August 25, 2012. The Detroit Police Department immediately classified his death as a homicide, but few details about the motive or method of the attack were released publicly.

Detectives pursued leads in the weeks after the killing, but investigators did not develop a clear suspect or uncover definitive forensic links, and no eyewitnesses have been reported. The investigation stalled and the case has since gone cold; there have been no arrests, trials, or convictions connected to Oldham’s death.

Anyone with information about Charles Oldham, his final movements on August 25, 2012, or potential witnesses in that area is asked to come forward.
