On the morning of March 2, 2018, 18-year-old Tramaine Da’Vonta Pate was shot in the 4200 block of West Cote Brilliante Avenue in Saint Louis, Missouri. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries. Tramaine was on the verge of graduating high school and was remembered by family and friends as a kid at heart who could fill a room with laughter and was known for his puppy eyes. He was also known by nicknames including Traman, Tra-wizzle, and TraSavv.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened an investigation, but leads were scarce and no suspect has been publicly identified. The case remains an open, unsolved homicide; family and community members have held vigils and memorials and continue to seek answers. If anyone knew Tramaine or has information about what happened that morning, please come forward.
