Ziyaa S Umarov, 23, was found inside a car in the Tower Grove South neighborhood of Saint Louis on January 12, 2018, suffering from fatal gunshot wounds. He had emigrated from Russia nine years earlier and was a father of two; he was discovered by his girlfriend of two years, Samantha Bates, and others. A passerby, Tia Richards, began CPR at the scene, but Umarov died in his girlfriend’s arms.

Early in the investigation the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department arrested two people thought to be connected to the shooting; police believed a stolen vehicle taken from Lindell had been used. Those two were later released for lack of sufficient evidence, and subsequent reports say police had no suspects. Friends and family remembered Umarov as a kind-hearted person whose presence could light up a room.

Who has information about Umarov, the stolen car on Lindell, or activity in Tower Grove South on or around January 12, 2018?
