On August 9, 2017, the Detroit Police Department began an investigation into the homicide of a 61-year-old African American male named Robert Green. The incident occurred at a residence located at 15760 Woodingham Drive, a residential street situated in a neighborhood on the city's northwest side, near the intersection of Puritan Avenue and Livernois.
Authorities arrived at the scene to find Green deceased, marking the beginning of a murder inquiry in Wayne County. Despite the collection of evidence and the involvement of law enforcement, the circumstances surrounding the fatal event have remained unclear in the years following the crime. The case was eventually cataloged in databases tracking unsolved homicides in major U.S. cities, including information gathered through partnerships with national news organizations to highlight cold cases.
To date, no suspects have been publicly named, and no arrests have been made in connection with Robert Green's death. The Detroit Police Department has listed the status of the investigation as unsolved, with the identity of the perpetrator or perpetrators remaining unknown. No charges have been filed, and consequently, there have been no trials or convictions related to this homicide. The case remains open for tips from the public that might lead to a resolution.
