Demtris Robinson was a 22-year-old Black man from Detroit whose life ended violently on March 24, 2011. He was found dead at a residence at 19215 Appoline Avenue on the city’s northwest side. That death was recorded as Detroit’s 58th homicide of 2011.

Details about what happened that night are sparse. Investigators who responded to the Appoline Avenue scene recorded limited information about motive or the sequence of events, and the case was entered into local and national unsolved-violent-crime databases. The Detroit Police Department has never identified suspects, made arrests, or filed charges in connection with Robinson’s killing. The investigation remains open but cold.

If anyone knew Demtris, was in that neighborhood on March 24, 2011, or has information that could move this case off the books, please come forward.
