Jalen Robert Hogue was 18 and about to turn 19 when he was found dead at his Mansfield Street home in Detroit on the morning of May 28, 2018. His roommate discovered him around 9:30 a.m., unresponsive on an air mattress with a fatal gunshot wound to the back of the head. The bedroom was smoky and Jalen’s phone had been damaged; the fire appears to have been set after the shooting.

Jalen had recently graduated high school and was one of twelve children. His family says no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been made; they report little to no new information from police in the years since. The only publicly mentioned lead is a vague description of a burgundy sedan seen in the area around the time of the killing. Crime Stoppers is offering up to $2,500 for information that leads to an arrest.

Did anyone in the neighborhood that weekend see the burgundy sedan or notice unusual activity at the Mansfield Street home?
