Robert RJ Dorsey Jr. was 16 when he was fatally shot outside his family home in the 800 block of Vegas Drive in Lemay, South St. Louis County. On the night of July 10, 2019, after dropping off a cousin, he walked from the car to the house around 9:15 p.m. and was struck multiple times in the torso. He made it inside the home and collapsed; first responders transported him to St. Anthony’s Hospital, where he died shortly after arrival.

Dorsey was a standout basketball player at Bayless High School and active in his church. Detectives with the St. Louis County Police Department pursued leads over the following months; an arrest was made in April 2020 but the suspect was released without charges because of insufficient evidence. The investigation remains open and unsolved.

If anyone has information about that night or the people involved, please contact the St. Louis County Police Department.
