James Hinch, 27, was found dead inside a vehicle after a reported shooting on the night of August 15, 2020, in the Northwoods area of St. Louis County, Missouri. Law enforcement officers responding to the shooting located Hinch with at least one fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The St.

Louis County Police Department’s Bureau of Crimes Against Persons opened a homicide investigation, canvassing the neighborhood for witnesses and surveillance footage. Initial reports gave no motive, and investigators had few immediate leads about the shooter. Months and years after the incident, no arrests had been publicly reported and the case remained active, with Crime Solvers and police continuing to seek tips.

If anyone has information about Hinch, his movements that night, or relevant footage, please come forward.
