In the city of Detroit, a family's concern on November 4, 2013, led to a tragic discovery that would leave them seeking answers for years to come. Dwayne Green, a 48-year-old man, was found dead in his home on Barlum Street. His relatives had grown worried when he failed to show up for his job as a maintenance supervisor at the Greater Grace Temple. When they went to his home to check on him, they found the front door slightly open.
Inside, they discovered Mr. Green on the floor, having been shot. Some accounts state he was shot once in the back of the head, while others indicate multiple gunshot wounds. There were no signs that someone had forced their way into the house. The police were called, and an investigation into his death as a homicide began.
Dwayne Green was not only a father to two adult children but also the brother-in-law of a prominent figure in the Detroit community, Bishop Charles Ellis III of the Greater Grace Temple. This connection brought more attention to the case, yet the investigation into who was responsible for his death and why has not led to any arrests.
Years have passed since Dwayne Green's life was cut short. His case remains an open and unsolved homicide. In an effort to bring his killer to justice, Crime Stoppers has offered a financial reward for any information that would lead to an arrest. The family continues to wait for closure in the violent death of their loved one.
