Lamond Ford, a 31-year-old father of two from Detroit, was found dead on August 3, 2013, in a vacant field on the city’s west side near Longacre Street and Diversey Avenue, close to the Southfield Freeway. He had been brutally beaten and shot; authorities believe the killing was connected to a robbery.

Investigators located blood in the basement of a nearby house Ford was renovating, prompting his mother to suspect the assault began at that property and his body was later moved to the field. Ford’s sons were 4 and 5 years old at the time; family described him as a quick learner with a lot of life left to live. A $2,500 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest.

No arrests or suspects have been reported and the case went cold. Does anyone in Detroit remember seeing Ford, the renovation property, or anything unusual around Longacre and Diversey in August 2013?
