Willie Crowder, 31, died on April 12, 2016, after a single gunshot wound to the head at his home in the 8500 block of Riverview Boulevard in the Baden neighborhood of St. Louis. Police officers responded to a call about a shooting around 6:00 a.m. and emergency medical personnel pronounced Crowder dead at the scene.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department initially classified the death as suspicious pending autopsy, but investigators later determined the shooting was accidental and self-inflicted while Crowder was unloading a firearm. No arrests were made, no suspects were sought, and no criminal charges were filed; the case was closed as an accidental shooting rather than a homicide.

Are there details about Crowder’s activities or the firearm that morning anyone can share?
