Juan Serrano-Ramirez, 31, a Hispanic/Latino man, was killed on December 6, 2014, in Memphis, Tennessee. The incident is tied to the area of 4496 Wooddale Ave, in the 38118 zip code, a specific point on the map that anchors what is otherwise a case marked by missing answers.
That same day, the homicide was recorded as a murder investigation under the Memphis Police Department’s jurisdiction in Shelby County. Beyond the address and the date, the public record of what happened narrows quickly—no narrative of the moments leading up to the killing, no confirmed sequence of events, and no publicly listed cause of death in the available case entry.
What stands out most is what isn’t there: a named offender, a known motive, a documented breakthrough. The suspect field remains “Unknown,” and there are no publicly identified persons of interest attached to the case in the information available from the listing. With the case status still marked unsolved, there is no arrest information or charging decision reflected in that record.
Serrano-Ramirez’s death appears in a broader accounting of unsolved killings compiled from major U.S. cities, a reminder that some cases slip into a quiet space where time passes but certainty doesn’t arrive. Years can stack up behind a single address and a single date, while the people who knew the victim are left with the sharp edge of an ending that never became an explanation.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Memphis Police Department at 545-2677.
