On the night of October 15, 2018, 19-year-old Eirion Watson, a Black male, was found on Emma Avenue in Saint Louis with multiple gunshot wounds. He was discovered about 10:37 PM lying next to a vehicle that had been reported stolen three days earlier. Emergency responders pronounced Watson dead at the scene and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators report that the case has stalled because of a lack of cooperative witnesses and limited physical evidence, and no arrests have been announced. Watson’s family continues to seek answers while police ask anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Eirion, saw activity on Emma Avenue that night, or has information that might help the investigation, please share what you know with authorities.
