A man with several gunshot wounds walked to a church in North City seeking help after a shooting Saturday evening, St. Louis police said. Officers found him in front of the church with multiple wounds and took him to an area hospital, where he was reported to be in stable condition.
St. Louis Metropolitan Police responded around 5 p.m. Saturday to the 5400 block of North Euclid, according to First Alert 4. A preliminary investigation indicated the man had walked to the church seeking help after being shot, and police said the church itself had no involvement in the shooting or the altercation that preceded it.
Investigation Remains Active
The shooting investigation is ongoing, and detectives have not released information about a possible suspect or motive. Anyone with information is asked to contact a District 6 detective at 314-444-0001, per the same report.
No further details on the victim's identity or the circumstances that led to the gunfire have been released. District 6 detectives are investigating the case.
Another Shooting Investigated in 2024
A separate shooting on September 25, 2024, wounded a 28-year-old man at the intersection of West Florissant Avenue and Riverview Boulevard, according to a report from Hoodline. That victim was reportedly waiting at a traffic light when an occupant of a silver SUV wearing a ski mask opened fire around 4 p.m. He was taken to a nearby hospital and was also reported in stable condition.
District 6 detectives were investigating that shooting as well, and police asked anyone with information to come forward using the same detective line. The incidents occurred nearly two years apart.
Both investigations remain open as police continue to seek information from the public. Anyone with details on either shooting is urged to reach out to investigators.
