In the summer of 2014, the life of 49-year-old Bradley Sollars came to a tragic and mysterious end in Detroit, Michigan. A resident of Operation Get Down and an employee at Dana Container, Sollars' body was discovered on the third floor of a desolate, vacant building on the 9900 block of Gratiot at Harper Avenue on the city's east side. The discovery, made in July of that year, marked the beginning of a homicide investigation into the death of the male victim.
Authorities began to piece
together the circumstances surrounding the grim finding, but information was scarce. As the investigation unfolded, details about how Sollars died or what led him to the abandoned building remained elusive to the public. In an effort to generate leads and encourage witnesses to come forward, Crime Stoppers announced a cash reward of up to $7,500 for any information that would lead to an arrest in the case.
Despite the reward and the efforts of law enforcement, the investigation into Bradley Sollars' death grew cold. Years have passed since his body was found, and there have been no public announcements regarding any persons of interest, suspects, or arrests. The case remains unsolved, a lingering mystery among the city's annals of violent crime, leaving a family and community without answers or a sense of justice for his untimely death.
