On September 21, 2014, 28-year-old Artemus Debose was killed in Miami, Florida, in a homicide that remains unsolved. The Miami Police Department responded to the scene after receiving reports of the incident. Debose's body was found, and an investigation was launched immediately, involving crime scene technicians and the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner. The homicide was initially examined on-site, followed by a formal autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death.
Despite the efforts of investigators, the case remains unsolved, and it is currently listed as an open investigation. The Miami Police Department’s Homicide Unit, which handles a range of death investigations, has worked continuously to interview witnesses and process leads in the hopes of identifying the perpetrator. However, no significant breakthroughs have been reported, and the case remains with the Cold Case Squad, which revisits older unsolved cases whenever new leads surface.
The Project Cold Case initiative has also highlighted Artemus Debose's death, aiming to keep public attention on unsolved homicides like his and encouraging anyone with relevant information to come forward. The Miami Police Department continues to request that anyone with knowledge about the circumstances surrounding Debose's death contact them or Crime Stoppers. The authorities remain hopeful that community support and additional information could eventually lead to justice for Artemus and closure for his grieving family.
