On September 11, 2018, in the Carondelet neighborhood of St. Louis, Michael Puckett, 56, was found shot to death in an alley near his home in the 5400 block of Idaho Avenue at about 10:25 p.m. The shooting occurred during a carjacking; the assailant fled in Puckett’s red 2017 Hyundai Tucson.

Puckett was described as friendly and caring. He and his husband, Jim Perry, had recently moved to the area and were well liked by neighbors. He enjoyed bowling and was a passionate St. Louis Cardinals fan. Authorities later announced a juvenile suspect had been taken into custody; the suspect’s identity and later legal details were withheld because of juvenile confidentiality.

Does anyone who lived in Carondelet at the time remember seeing a red 2017 Hyundai Tucson or noticed anything unusual that night?
