Lamandras Sandford, a 38-year-old African-American man, was shot to death on July 16, 2014, in Saint-Louis, Missouri. His death was ruled a homicide by multiple gunshot wounds. The Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened an investigation in a neighborhood already experiencing rising violent crime.

Investigators initially faced few eyewitnesses and limited concrete evidence. Authorities identified several individuals of interest described as having known involvement in criminal activity in the area, and community information plus forensic evidence helped focus the probe. The discrepancy between those accounts has not been publicly clarified.

If anyone knew Lamandras, witnessed the shooting, or has information about these differing accounts, please share what can help clarify what happened.
