In the early morning hours of March 22, 2021, 22-year-old Raymond Bonds was found outside a car on the 5600 block of Cote Brilliante Avenue in the Wells-Goodfellow neighborhood of St. Louis with puncture wounds. Officers responding to a ShotSpotter alert arrived about 2:40 a.m. and encountered a chaotic scene. Bonds told officers he had been shot by a man he did not know but, because of the severity of his injuries, could not give a further description or explain what led to the shooting.

Bonds was taken to a nearby hospital in critical and unstable condition and later died of his injuries. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department homicide division opened an investigation and asked the public for information; CrimeStoppers was offered as an anonymous tip option. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced as the investigation continued.

Did anyone in the Wells-Goodfellow area hear or see anything that morning or have information about the unknown man Bonds mentioned?
