Steven Sunkel, a 55-year-old White man, was shot and found unconscious and not breathing in the driver’s seat of a vehicle in the Tower Grove South area of St. Louis on March 30, 2016. Emergency responders took him to a hospital, where he later died from his gunshot wounds.

Investigators tied the shooting to a drug-related encounter and identified St. Louis resident Ricky Bolden as the suspect. Bolden was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, and multiple unlawful possession of a firearm counts. At a bench trial two years later, prosecutors said Bolden deliberately killed Sunkel after a drug deal unraveled; the defense claimed self-defense, alleging Sunkel tried to run Bolden over. The judge rejected that defense and found Bolden guilty of second-degree murder and 11 additional counts, including illegal gun possession, and imposed a life sentence.

Does anyone have information about Sunkel’s activities in the Tower Grove South area or about that March 30, 2016 encounter?
