Darrell McCoy, a 31-year-old African American man, was shot dead on the sidewalk outside a diner in the 3600 block of Hamilton Avenue in North St. Louis on the morning of May 4, 2016. First responders pronounced him dead at the scene after he sustained fatal gunshot wounds.

St. Louis Metropolitan Police detectives opened a homicide investigation, canvassing for witnesses and evidence. Investigators later obtained surveillance footage showing a person of interest walking near the scene; police released that video to the public on June 1, 2016 and asked anyone who recognized the individual’s gait or clothing to come forward. A reward was offered for tips leading to an arrest.

Police initially described McCoy as homeless, but that portrayal was disputed by someone identifying herself as his mother, who said he was not homeless. No arrests had been announced as of the public appeals. If anyone knew Darrell McCoy or recognizes the person seen in the released footage, what information can be shared with investigators?
