In the summer of 2017, the discovery of a man's body in the basement of a vacant house on Detroit's west side began a homicide investigation that has since gone cold. On August 1, 2017, the remains of 48-year-old Sean Goss were found at a property located at 6103 Hecla, near West Grand Boulevard and Rosa Parks Boulevard. The grim discovery revealed a brutal end to the man's life.
An examination of the scene and the victim determined that Goss had been shot and his body was also partially
burnt. Investigators noted that the last reported fire at the vacant home had occurred on July 27, 2017, a few days before his body was found. The case was ruled a homicide, prompting an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding his death and a search for those responsible.
Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the investigation into Sean Goss's murder has not led to any arrests or the public identification of any suspects. The case has been featured by Michigan Cold Cases and Crime Stoppers of Michigan, with a cash reward of up to $2,500 offered for any information that leads to an arrest in connection with his death. The appeal to the public for assistance underscores the lack of leads that have emerged in the years following the incident. To date, the case remains unsolved, and the search for answers and justice for Sean Goss continues.
