The unsolved homicide of Alfonso Forendo-Vazquez remains a lingering cold case in the files of the Detroit Police Department. On May 3, 2013, the 52-year-old Hispanic male was reported dead in Detroit, Michigan. The circumstances surrounding his death have left investigators with few leads, and for over a decade, the case has failed to yield the answers necessary to bring closure to those who knew him.
Despite the passage of time, details regarding the specific cause of death have not
been publicly released, and the official case file lists these critical elements as unknown. The investigation into the incident has yet to produce a clear narrative of the events that transpired on that spring day. Police have not established a motive, and the sequence of interactions leading up to the loss of life remains shrouded in mystery.
To date, there have been no arrests made in connection with the death of Alfonso Forendo-Vazquez. No suspects have been named, and no charges have been filed. The case sits among others in the Project Cold Case database, waiting for a breakthrough or new information that might finally identify a perpetrator. The Detroit Police Department continues to hold the case open, hoping that a witness or a piece of overlooked evidence will eventually surface to provide justice for the victim.
