Marvin Earl Monroe, 46, was found shot to death outside an abandoned home near Chalmers and Frankfort on Detroit’s east side on June 19, 2011. He had been celebrating his niece’s college graduation the night before at his brother’s house on Coplin Street and was last seen leaving that home about 1 a.m., intending to walk home. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots in the early morning hours, and his body was discovered at about 3:50 a.m. with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest.

Marvin’s family describe him as a kind, generous, nonviolent man — a father of four boys and a creative, helpful uncle and brother. Despite repeated public pleas, vigils, and a Crime Stoppers cash reward for information leading to an arrest, no arrests or named suspects have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the neighborhood around Chalmers and Frankfort that morning see or hear anything that might help bring Marvin’s killers to justice?
