Demitrus Martin was 41 when he was killed on July 1, 2010, on Detroit’s northwest side. He was a Black man and left behind a young son who shared his name. Martin suffered fatal injuries and was one of many victims in a year of elevated homicides in the city.

Investigators were unable to identify or charge a suspect in the years that followed; records nearly a decade later showed no arrest or charges in the case. The unresolved investigation compounded the family’s loss.

Martin’s son later wrote a book titled I Really Miss My Dad about grieving and coping after the killing. Does anyone who lived on Detroit’s northwest side in 2010 remember details that could help bring answers about what happened to Demitrus Martin?
