Ronald Pulcher was killed in Detroit in 2010; his death is classified as an unsolved homicide. Beyond the year, city, and manner of death, virtually nothing about the case has been made public. No details about where in Detroit the killing occurred, how he was killed, or whether any suspects were ever identified have been reported.

Observers note that 2010 was an unusually violent year in Detroit and that the sheer number of violent crimes then may have contributed to less attention and few investigative updates in Pulcher’s case. Online discussions among people who follow unsolved crimes repeatedly emphasize the scarcity of information and the lack of progress in the investigation.
