Armanti Monti Bonner was 20 when he was found shot to death in Saint Louis on August 6, 2009. Authorities classified the death as a homicide; he had multiple gunshot wounds. The Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department led the investigation in a neighborhood described as having high crime rates.

Investigators struggled from the start. The case report notes a lack of eyewitnesses and limited physical evidence at the scene, obstacles that have prevented identification or apprehension of a suspect. No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly named. The community held vigils and rallies after the killing, and local activists called for more police resources in the area.

Bonner’s family continues to seek answers and closure. If anyone knew Armanti, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
