As of now, publicly available information does not indicate that any arrests have been made in connection with the death of Demond T. Higgins. The police have not released details about potential suspects or a motive in the ongoing investigation. The case remains a painful and unresolved chapter for his family and the community, one of many unsolved homicides that continue to trouble the city.
