On the night of October 6, 2021, 28-year-old DeVante Lewis was shot in the Dutchtown neighborhood of South St. Louis. First responders found Lewis with multiple gunshot wounds and he was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition, but died shortly after arrival.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department homicide division investigated, canvassing the scene for evidence and witnesses. Investigators encountered limited cooperation and were unable to develop concrete leads. No suspects have been identified or arrested, and public case listings continue to show the investigation as open and unsolved.

The motive for the shooting remains unclear and Lewis’s family has not received a resolution. If anyone saw what happened or has information that could help, please contact the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
