On November 11, 2012, authorities in Detroit, Michigan, were called to a residence on the city’s east side following reports of a shooting. The victim was identified as Isaac Haywood, a 47-year-old African American male. He was discovered inside his home located in the 5500 block of Lodewyck Street, near Warren Avenue.
When police arrived at the scene that Sunday afternoon, they found Haywood suffering from a fatal gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the residence. Law enforcement officials launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the homicide, which was one of several violent incidents reported in the city that day. While police were able to make an arrest in a separate, unrelated shooting on the city's west side that same afternoon, no immediate suspects were taken into custody regarding Haywood's death.
The case has since been cataloged in cold case databases, indicating that it has remained unsolved for over a decade. Despite the initial investigation by Detroit homicide detectives, no charges have been filed, and no individuals have been convicted in connection with the killing of Isaac Haywood.
