On a Wednesday afternoon in early January 2021, officers were sent to a home in the 4400 block of Penrose Street in the Penrose neighborhood of St. Louis after reports of a shooting. First responders found an unresponsive woman inside who had sustained fatal gunshot wounds. She was identified as 21-year-old Kierra Rogers and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Homicide Division of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department treated the death as a homicide, cordoned off the area to collect evidence and interview potential witnesses, and urged anyone with information to come forward. No suspects were taken into custody in the immediate aftermath, and investigators had not released a motive or the identity of the shooter.

If anyone in the Penrose neighborhood that day noticed anything out of the ordinary or has information about Kierra Rogers’s death, contact the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Homicide Division.
