In the early evening of March 13, 2021, a single-vehicle crash at the Ranches of Rosebrook apartment complex in Ypsilanti Township, Michigan, led to a grim discovery. Responding to the scene at approximately 8:20 p.m., deputies from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office found 32-year-old Henry Peoples Ross, a male resident of Detroit, unconscious in the driver's seat of his car. It was soon determined that Ross had not died from the crash but had sustained a fatal gunshot wound.
The investigation into Ross's death was immediately launched by the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office, who treated the case as a homicide. In the days following the incident, authorities released a photograph of a person of interest they wished to speak with regarding the shooting. The public was asked to come forward with any information that could aid in the investigation, with the option to provide anonymous tips through a confidential tip line.
Despite the initial efforts of law enforcement and the plea for public assistance, there have been no publicly announced arrests in connection with the murder of Henry Peoples Ross. Information regarding a suspect or suspects has not been released, and the case remains an open and ongoing investigation by the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office.
