St. Louis police are asking the public to help identify a man wanted in connection with a shooting that unfolded in broad daylight in the Walnut Park West neighborhood in September. A 38-year-old man was working on his vehicle in the 6000 block of West Florissant when someone opened fire on him, and more than a month later, the gunman remains unidentified.
The shooting happened Sept. 23, according to firstalert4.com, which reports that police say they do not know why the suspect shot at the man. A separate account from uspress.news places the shooting at around 3 p.m. that day and states that the 38-year-old was not struck by the gunfire.
What Police Know About the Suspect
Investigators describe the wanted man as Black, standing roughly 6 feet to 6 feet 4 inches tall, with a slim build, per the station's report. He was captured on surveillance video wearing a dark hoodie, a blue surgical mask and dark shorts, offering the clearest look so far at the person detectives are trying to track down.
No motive has been established for the shooting, and the same account notes that detail remains unresolved as the investigation continues. Police have not said whether they've developed any leads beyond the surveillance footage and the physical description they've shared publicly.
