Kelly Wright was 43 when he was found shot multiple times on the afternoon of Tuesday, August 4, 2020, in the 1500 block of Ben McLemore III Place in Wellston, Missouri. Responding officers discovered his body and his death was ruled a homicide. The North County Police Cooperative asked the Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis to assist the investigation.

A former professional boxer who won the National Golden Gloves Championship in 1995, Wright was remembered as a devoted father to three children and a respected figure in the local boxing community. Authorities appealed to the public for information in the days after the shooting and CrimeStoppers offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

No arrests had been announced and investigators asked anyone with information to contact the Major Case Squad or CrimeStoppers. Does anyone in the Wellston area have information that could help resolve this case?
