St. Louis, MO – Police are asking for the public’s help in solving the 2008 killing of Kelty O’Brien, who was shot and killed on the 4100 block of Parker Avenue in south St. Louis. Detectives from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s (SLMPD) Homicide Division are renewing their appeal for information this week as part of a continuing effort to close unsolved cases.
According to SLMPD, O’Brien was fatally shot on November 7, 2008, and despite ongoing investigations, no arrests have been made. The department’s Cold Case Unit is urging anyone with knowledge about the incident to come forward.
Authorities say tips can be submitted directly to detectives by calling (314) 444-5371 or emailing HomicideColdCase@SLMPD.org. Anonymous information can also be shared with CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS (8477), where eligible tipsters may receive a cash reward.
Investigators continue to review evidence and leads in hopes of bringing closure to O’Brien’s family after nearly two decades. Police emphasize that even small details could help advance the case.
