In broad daylight on Selber Court, a 22-year-old man took a bullet to the arm, and now St. Louis police want the city’s help figuring out who was there when the shots rang out.
On Tuesday, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department released still photos of three people detectives say are connected to the June 19 shooting. The victim was standing in the 5800 block of Selber Court when gunfire came from the 3400 block, according to First Alert 4. The 22-year-old was taken to a hospital and treated for a gunshot wound to his arm.
First Alert 4 reports the shooting happened just before 1:30 p.m. on June 19 and that 5th District detectives are leading the investigation. The images, credited to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, show three persons of interest that investigators want to identify.
