On a cold December evening in 2018, Richard Harder, a 45-year-old male, was found dead in his home on Detroit's east side. The discovery was made at approximately 10 p.m. on December 17th. An investigation revealed that Harder had been fatally shot in the back of the head in what appeared to be an execution-style killing.
In the months that followed, the investigation into Richard Harder's murder continued, but no suspects were publicly identified, and no arrests were made.
In March 2019, Crime Stoppers of Michigan announced a cash reward of up to $2,500 for any information that would lead to an arrest in the case. This appeal to the public was made in the hopes that someone would come forward with a crucial piece of information that could help investigators solve the crime.
Despite the reward and continued efforts by law enforcement, the case of Richard Harder's murder has grown cold. There have been no subsequent announcements regarding any persons of interest, suspects, or arrests in connection with his death. The circumstances surrounding his murder remain a mystery, and the case is considered unsolved. The lack of publicly available information since the initial investigation and reward offer suggests that those responsible for Richard Harder's death have not yet been brought to justice.
