Found Deceased MI - Douglas Calhoun, 39, Detroit, 1 June 2017 *Arrest*

[Vail]

I'm not sure what else we might ever hear on Doug. The last reported was that he was killed by the girl's pimp, Travun Eugen-Jani Baskerville. Because she was underage, her name will not likely be disclosed. http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/index.ssf/2017/08/man_killed_by_pimp_during_date.html

Travun Eugen-Jani Baskerville was later charged with murder and sex trafficking. https://www.clickondetroit.com/news...f-doug-and-human-trafficking-17-year-old-girl

Some details on the preliminary hearing in this article:

I am not able to find him via the Michigan Court Case search so maybe someone else has better luck!

I don't know if anyone is still following this but Doug's sister posted on IG that the killer got 50 years. I found this article...

Thank you so much for this update. This story still doesn't jive:

She told the court an argument ensued after Calhoun demanded to be able to have sexual intercourse without a condom. The witness said the argument escalated and Baskerville pulled a gun and shot Calhoun. She told the court they dragged Calhoun's body into the backyard of a vacant home and dumped his body in a dumpster.

I don't really believe her account, but at least her waste of a BF is in prison. Let's hope she can be a productive member of society and not fall back into drugs or prostitution.

Ita, the story does not seem plausible somehow, but at least the son of a gun is put away now. imo.

The Gruesome Murder and Disappearance of An “Up and Coming” Chef in Detroit

How the chilling disappearance of a young chef and veteran become one of the most gruesome murder cases in Michigan history.

''Every single friend group has one. A friend that is the life of the party. Without this person, things are just boring. The rest of the friend group seems lost. The life of the party in this instance was a man named Douglas Calhoun.

When Douglas walked into a room, people took notice. He was classy. He was intelligent. And, above all, he knew exactly how to turn a bland dish into a flavorful masterpiece.

But, his story did not start there. He was a marine for the United States. Above all, he was a very proud veteran. After his military career, Doug decided that it was time to go home and start a business of his own. That business was catering food for events across the country, such as weddings and business ordeals.''

''In the end, the disturbing death and murder of Chef Doug still leaves his family and friends mourning and grieving to this day.

The boyfriend, Travun Baskerville, received 120 years in prison for his actions.

Even though justice was served, the entire Detroit area is still shaken from the murder of “one of their own”.
