Demaszio Cox, a 20-year-old Black male, died in Detroit, Michigan, on January 22, 2013. In at least one publicly available online memorial record, his name appears as DeMazsio Enrique Cox, with a reported birth date of August 4, 1992, and his death is recorded as occurring in Detroit.
Beyond those basic identifiers, the publicly viewable sources available about his death provide little or no narrative detail about what happened in the hours leading up to it—no confirmed location of
the incident, no description of injuries, and no account of who first found him or called for help. The same limited public records that document his death do not include investigative summaries, witness statements, or an official description of the circumstances.
In the sources reviewed, there are no publicly named suspects tied to his death, and there is no publicly documented arrest, charging decision, trial, or conviction connected to it. If law enforcement developed leads, interviewed persons of interest, or pursued a case file, those details are not reflected in the available online material consulted here, leaving the story of what happened largely unwritten in the public record.
What can be traced, instead, is the quiet finality that follows: the same memorial listing records burial at Evergreen Cemetery in Detroit, a tangible marker in the city where his life ended. In the absence of public case reporting, that entry stands as the clearest surviving outline online—name, dates, place—while the unanswered questions about who was responsible and why remain outside what those sources reveal.
