St. Louis, MO – St. Louis police are renewing public calls for information today as detectives continue investigating a 2016 homicide on the city’s north side. The victim was found fatally shot inside an apartment on the 2700 block of Hadley, and nearly nine years later, the case remains unsolved.
According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD), the shooting occurred on April 15, 2016, when officers responded to reports of gunfire and located the victim inside the residence. Police said there have been no leads identifying a suspect or motive, and the case remains open with the department’s Homicide Division.
Detectives emphasized that community tips are critical in cold-case investigations, especially when existing evidence has not pointed to a clear suspect. Police noted that even small details—changes in behavior, comments overheard, or information shared long after the crime—can help break a case.
SLMPD is urging anyone with information to contact CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS (8477), where callers may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a reward. Tips can also be submitted directly to detectives at 314-444-5371 or by email at HomicideColdCase@SLMPD.org.
The department continues to highlight unsolved homicides on its public database, hoping renewed attention will reach someone who knows what happened. Residents across St. Louis, St. Louis County, and the greater metro region are encouraged to review the cases and share any information that might help investigators move forward.
Anyone who lives near the 2700 block of Hadley or recalls activity in the area on the night of the shooting is especially urged to come forward.
