On May 12, 2012, police in Detroit responded to a residence near the 1400–1500 blocks of St. Clair Street on the city’s east side and recovered the body of 32-year-old Black man Edward McFolley. Authorities classified his death as a homicide involving the use of force and the Detroit Police Department processed the St. Clair address for evidence. Public reports did not detail the circumstances leading to McFolley’s death or say whether he lived at the home where he was found.

No suspects were publicly named and no arrests were reported; the case was never solved and later appeared in regional cold‑case databases. The investigation remains open but inactive pending new leads. If anyone has information about Edward McFolley or the events of May 12, 2012, please contact the Detroit Police Department.
