On September 23, 2018, 21-year-old Louis Bishop was found shot to death in a vacant lot in the 3000 block of Marcus Avenue in St. Louis. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was discovered in the lot that day.

About an hour later and less than half a mile away, Bishop’s 25-year-old girlfriend, Tamella Buchanan, was found inside a vehicle with shattered windows in the 2800 block of Taylor Avenue. She also had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department has investigated the two killings in connection with one another.

Family members called for information after the killings; Bishop’s uncle Rodney said someone chased and killed the couple, though reasons remained unknown. The case grew cold and, as of early 2025, no arrests or public identifications of suspects had been announced and no motive had been released.

Does anyone who lived in that neighborhood or who knew Louis or Tamella have information that could help investigators?
