Laffage Caver was a 63-year-old Black man recorded as homicide victim number 136 in Detroit’s 2010 killings. He was reported killed on June 20, 2010, at 16842 Avon, a modest single-family brick house on Avon Avenue in the North Rosedale Park neighborhood — a block described as tree-lined and residential with longstanding civic pride.

Very little about his final moments appears in local news or public archives. His name resurfaces in national compilations of unsolved killings, including datasets derived from the Washington Post’s Murder with Impunity project, which indicate his case remained without an arrest years after the death. The entry for Caver is a stark reminder of homicides that leave few public traces beyond a date, an address, and the label homicide.

If anyone knew Laffage Caver, lived near 16842 Avon in 2010, or has information about what happened that summer day, please come forward.
