On December 30, 2014, authorities in the Detroit metropolitan area responded to a grim discovery in the enclave city of Highland Park. The incident involved the death of Brandon Logan, a 17-year-old Black male, whose life was cut short just a day before New Year’s Eve. He was found at a residence located at 991 East Margaret Street, a residential block within the Highland Park community which is surrounded by the city of Detroit.
The circumstances surrounding the teenager's death were immediately classified as a homicide by local law enforcement. Despite the presence of police and the initiation of an investigation by the Detroit Police Department and local agencies, the case faced significant challenges from the outset. Investigators collected evidence from the scene at the East Margaret address, but immediate leads did not result in a swift resolution to the crime.
Over the years following the incident, the case has remained cold. As of the latest available public records, no suspects have been identified, arrested, or charged in connection with the murder. The investigation has not yielded a trial or conviction, leaving the homicide unsolved. Brandon Logan’s name currently resides in databases dedicated to unsolved crimes and cold cases in Michigan, marking a tragedy that has yet to see legal closure or justice for the victim.
