Detroit police and the mother of an Iraq war veteran slain in a robbery after he returned home in January 2013 are asking anyone who knows who did it to come forward.

U.S. Naval Petty Officer Second Class Terrence Hill, Jr., 24, was shot and killed on Detroit's northwest side, and the shooter fled the scene and hasn't been found.

Hill's mother Julia Spencer, 43, at a press conference specially called on Veterans Day, said she wants justice for her son.

"It's hard, because this is a day when we would call him up... and just say, 'Happy Veterans Day, thank you so much. We love you for being so great,'" she said, adding that instead, "today is a day when we're still trying to get answers."

Hill, who was on leave at the time, was sitting with a 21-year-old woman in a Ford F-150 in the 19100 block of Manor, near 7 Mile, when the gunman and another person approached, ordering Hill out of the vehicle. During the robbery, a struggle ensued and Hill was shot, according to Detroit Police Department.
