Anthony Velez, 22, and his girlfriend Rosemary Chyz, 19, were found dead in a desolate lot on Detroit’s east side after a trip into the city on the evening of October 24, 2011. The couple’s bodies were discovered the next afternoon near Mount Elliot and I-94; both had been bound and suffered multiple gunshot wounds described by investigators as execution-style. Their pockets had been turned out, prompting authorities to believe robbery was the primary motive. Anthony’s gray Chevy Impala was later found burned near the old Packard plant not far from the scene.

Detroit Police homicide investigators have pursued leads and at one point identified a person of interest they wanted to interview, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. The families have repeatedly appealed for information and a cash reward was offered for tips leading to an arrest. If anyone knew Anthony or Rosemary, saw them in Detroit on October 24–25, 2011, or has information about the burned Impala, please come forward.
