Robert Eddins, 28, a former NFL player, and his friend Ricardo McFarlin, 32, were found shot to death in the basement of a Detroit west side home. The bodies were discovered on December 20, 2016, by Eddins’s father after he could not reach his son. Both men had been shot multiple times in what authorities described as execution-style killings. The house had been ransacked, and the gas stove was left on with the pilots unlit in an apparent attempt to cause an explosion and destroy evidence.

Investigators linked the double homicide to drug trafficking. Federal officials reported the killings stemmed from a dispute over a cocaine shipment Eddins had allegedly not paid for. The case later produced a federal indictment charging three men with murder, drug trafficking, and weapons offenses; authorities said the men had traveled from out of state with the intent to kill and that one was accused of shooting Eddins.

Does anyone have information about Eddins’s movements or contacts in Detroit in the weeks before December 20, 2016?
