In the late hours of a Thursday in November 2013, a grim discovery was made in an apartment on Detroit's west side, forever altering the lives of three families. Inside the residence in the 3000 block of W. Philadelphia, between Dexter Boulevard and Wildemere Street, the bodies of three individuals were found, victims of a triple shooting. Among them was Quentin Cason, a 35-year-old male.
The scene in the dining room was one of violence and tragedy.
Cason, along with 32-year-old Damon Gipson and 22-year-old Demetria Mosley, had been shot to death. Gipson was reportedly renting the apartment where the killings took place. Family members at the scene identified the other two victims as his friends. The incident left the community in shock and mourning, with a young mother and two men having had their lives abruptly cut short.
In the years that have followed, the case of the triple homicide has grown cold. Despite the initial investigation, there has been no public announcement of any arrests or the identification of any suspects in the murders of Quentin Cason, Damon Gipson, and Demetria Mosley. Discussions in online forums as recent as 2024 suggest that the case remains unresolved. There is speculation that fear within the community may be a significant barrier, preventing potential witnesses from coming forward with information that could lead to a breakthrough in the investigation. The passage of time has not diminished the desire for answers and justice for the three victims.
