David Bowen, 31, was found dead at a residence on Detroit’s northwest side on December 1, 2011. Officers who went to 16501 Griggs Street, near Puritan and Wyoming avenues, discovered Bowen deceased and the Detroit Police Department immediately classified the death as a homicide. The Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office listed him among that year’s victims of violence during a period when the city recorded 344 homicides.

County property records show the Griggs Street address had recently passed through a tax auction and was owned by a corporate entity around the time Bowen’s body was found, suggesting the house may have been vacant or in transition when the death occurred.

Did anyone in the area around Puritan and Wyoming in late 2011 notice anything that might help explain what happened to David Bowen?
