Jerry Diallo Wiley, a 27-year-old African American man, died on January 7, 2007, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His death was recorded as a death by force and treated as a homicide, placing his case among the city’s unsolved killings from that era.
In the months and years that followed, no suspect was publicly identified and no arrest was announced in connection with his killing. His name appears in broader national tallies highlighting how frequently killings of Black victims go without an arrest, a grim reminder that his case remains open with answers still out of reach.
Public records memorialize his life and loss: born in 1979 and laid to rest at Crystal Lake Cemetery in Minneapolis, his grave marker stands as one of the few concrete details available to the public while investigators and the community continue to wait for a break.
