On the evening of March 15, 2014, 19-year-old Clem Russell was fatally shot in an alley behind the 3500 block of Pennsylvania Avenue in St. Louis. He was playing a game of chance with friends when an unknown assailant opened fire just before 6 p.m., striking Russell in the back and shoulder. A 20-year-old man was also shot in the shoulder and survived. That night included four separate shootings across the city; Russell was the only fatality among them.

No arrests have been reported and no public suspects have been identified; the investigation is cold. Russell had a prior arrest for a fast-food robbery on South Kingshighway and was reportedly wearing the same clothing and carrying a similar firearm as seen on surveillance in that case, which had ended with conditional release and a judicial order to avoid that establishment. The circumstances of his killing remain unsolved.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything that night, or know more about Russell’s movements before the shooting?
