Ricardo McFarlin, 32, was one of two men found shot to death in a Detroit basement on December 20, 2016. Former NFL player Robert Eddins was the other victim. Both had been shot multiple times in what investigators described as an execution-style killing; the bodies were discovered in the west side home by Eddins’ father.

Investigators reported the gas stove in the basement had been left on, a detail authorities said indicated an effort to destroy evidence by causing an explosion. There were no signs of forced entry at the residence, which suggested the victims may have known their assailants. Federal prosecutors later tied the killings to a drug dispute, alleging the motive arose from Eddins allegedly not paying for a shipment of cocaine.

Three men from out of state were identified in the case and were indicted on federal counts that included murder, drug distribution, and gun crimes. If anyone has information about McFarlin, Eddins, or the people who came to that home that night, please share what is known with investigators.
