Krystal Deloach was 28 when she was identified in October 2019 as a homicide victim in the North Hampton neighborhood of south St. Louis. Her death was one of two separate shootings whose victims were named by authorities after a delay that required forensic or family verification. North Hampton, normally a quiet residential area, experienced an unusual spike in violent crime in the weeks before her identification.

Public information at the time did not report an arrest or charge tied specifically to Krystal’s killing. Her case remained an active part of St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department homicide investigations into shootings affecting the city’s southern neighborhoods. If anyone has information about Krystal, her movements in North Hampton, or the weeks leading up to October 2019, detectives want to hear from you.
