On July 11, 2012, 26-year-old Jape Brockman was found dead on Detroit’s west side near the intersection of Warwick Street and West Chicago, in the 19100 block of West Chicago. Detroit Police responded to the scene that Wednesday and treated the location as a crime scene while investigators canvassed the area for witnesses and any surveillance that might explain why Brockman was killed.

Despite evidence collected at the scene, the circumstances that led to Brockman’s death remain unclear. Cold case records show no prime suspect has been identified and there have been no arrests, charges, or convictions in connection with the slaying. The investigation remains open but unsolved, leaving Brockman’s family and the community without answers.

If anyone who lived near West Chicago in July 2012 or who has information about activity in that area around Warwick Street can help, please come forward.
