James Colford ’Cole’ Gould, 23, was fatally shot during an early morning robbery on August 27, 2015, in the 3600 block of Marine Avenue near South Broadway in St. Louis. Gould, a Creve Coeur resident, had reportedly gone to the area to buy narcotics when two men approached him around 1:00 a.m. A struggle followed and Gould suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his head, chest, legs and other areas. He was found conscious in a parking lot, told first responders he had been robbed and shot by two men, and died after being taken to a hospital. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide by gunshot wounds.

Police described the suspects as two Black males; one was detailed as about 21 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, roughly 150 pounds, wearing dark pants, a black zippered jacket with stripes and carrying a dark backpack. No arrests have been made and the case went cold. Gould’s family later added $50,000 to the CrimeStoppers reward to encourage tips.

Did anyone in the St. Louis area see activity near Marine Avenue that night or know the men described?
