Duraid Aziz ’Dave’ Lossia, 59, was killed during an apparent robbery at Tom’s Party Store in Farmington Hills, Michigan, on December 28, 2013. A customer found Lossia lying in a pool of blood behind the counter; he had been shot in the face and was pronounced dead at the scene. The store is on Inkster near 8 Mile Road. Lossia was a husband and father and described as a popular, well-loved member of the community.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect. Two days after the shooting a 43-year-old Detroit man, Cassalle Nettles, was arrested; fingerprints on several items left at the store linked him to the scene and matched the last sale made that day. Although the store’s interior cameras were not working, Nettles appeared on surveillance from nearby businesses around the time of the killing. Prosecutors say he feigned buying chips and a drink to get Lossia to open the register, then shot him and took large bills.

Nettles was charged with first-degree felony murder, armed robbery, and weapons offenses; a jury found him guilty on all counts in September 2014 and he was sentenced the following month to mandatory life without parole. Did anyone who knew Lossia or who was in the Inkster–8 Mile area that day see something that hasn’t been shared publicly?
