In the summer of 2013, a young life was tragically cut short in Buffalo, New York. Ray Carmichael, a 20-year-old African-American male, was fatally shot on July 9, 2013. The circumstances surrounding his death paint a grim picture of a life taken too soon, with a case that has since grown cold, leaving a family without answers and a community with an unsolved crime.
The discovery of Carmichael's body unfolded with the dawn on a Tuesday morning.
A neighbor found him on a back porch of a residence on Sun Street, but it is believed the fatal shotgun blast that ended his life occurred around 11 p.m. the previous night. The anquish of his passing was deeply felt by his loved ones, who gathered for his funeral to mourn the young man they knew as 'Skeeno.' He was remembered as a beloved son, brother, and friend.
Despite the passage of time, the homicide of Ray Carmichael remains one of Buffalo's unsolved cases. Law enforcement authorities have continued their investigation, but as of now, no suspects have been publicly identified or apprehended in connection with his death.
