A 51-year-old woman has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of a man found in Hyde Park last year. The victim, subsequently identified as 52-year-old Christopher Lewis of St. Louis City, MO, was discovered with fatal gunshot wounds on July 27, 2025. In a recent development, the St. Louis City Circuit Attorney’s Office has levied charges that include Murder 1st Degree, Armed Criminal Action, and two counts of Tampering with Evidence against the suspect, who is currently being held without bond.
Following a call to the 4300 block of Randall Place shortly after 12:15 p.m. on the day of the incident, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department officers arrived to find Lewis already fallen, no more able to speak to the violence that claimed his life. EMS personnel were prompt to respond but could ultimately only pronounce him deceased upon their arrival, as relayed by a statement from the police department. As investigations continue to unravel the full narrative behind Lewis's untimely demise, the St. Louis Homicide Division urges those with knowledge of the event to step forward.
Those with information are strongly encouraged to contact the Homicide Division directly at 314-444-5371. The call for community assistance stretches further—a plea for the anonymous whisper of details that might otherwise remain in the shadows. CrimeStoppers offers a conduit for such information, anchored by the possibility of a cash reward, available at 866-371-TIPS (8477).
