Roosevelt Phillips was 52 when he was found dead in Saint Louis on January 7, 2017. Police determined his death was a homicide after finding multiple injuries that suggested foul play, and the Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators identified several potential suspects during the inquiry, but the case has been hampered by serious problems with evidence collection and preservation and by allegations that some detectives failed to pursue key leads or keep the family adequately informed. Those concerns prompted lawsuits against the police department alleging misconduct and negligence in the handling of the investigation.

The case remains open and detectives say they continue to follow up on tips from the public. Does anyone have information about Phillips, his last known movements, or about the investigation that could help bring answers to his family?
