Perry Long, an 18-year-old Black student and basketball player at Osborn High School, was found dead on June 28, 2011, on Howard Street in Detroit. He was a visible presence in his school community as an athlete, and his death came during a summer marked by multiple violent crimes in the city.

Long’s death deepened the trauma at Osborn High School; it occurred about a month before another high-profile killing of a fellow student athlete, intensifying grief among classmates and staff.

If anyone knew Perry, saw him that week, or has information about what happened on Howard Street on June 28, 2011, please come forward.
