On the morning of September 1, 2019, 20-year-old D’Shay Knox was found in the West End neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, suffering from fatal gunshot wounds. St. Louis Metropolitan Police officers were called to the West City area that Sunday and investigators cordoned off the scene and opened a homicide investigation.

Knox was identified shortly after the shooting as a local resident who had attended McCluer High School. Online tributes described her as caring and strong-minded, and her death revived memories of a years-earlier missing persons scare when she was a teenager and later found safe. Detectives appealed to the public for leads, but available reports give no details of suspects, arrests, or charges related to her killing.

If anyone knew D’Shay or has information about what happened that morning, please come forward to assist the investigation.
