Tamella Buchanan was 25 when her body was found inside a vehicle in the 2800 block of North Taylor Avenue in St. Louis on Sunday, September 23, 2018. She had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was a mother to a young son.

On the same day and less than a mile away, Buchanan’s boyfriend of six years, 22-year-old Louis Bishop, was found shot multiple times in a vacant lot in the 3000 block of Marcus Avenue. The near-concurrent locations and timing prompted questions about a possible connection, but the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department has not publicly confirmed any link. The police chief said drugs were a factor in several homicides that weekend, though it is unclear whether that applied to Buchanan’s killing.

No arrests have been announced in Buchanan’s case and the investigation remains open. If anyone knew Tamella, her movements that weekend, or has information relevant to her death, please share what is known with investigators.
