On the evening of March 26, 2000, 18-year-old Cara Davenport was sitting in the back seat of a brown 1983 Pontiac parked at 6156 Greer Avenue in Hillsdale, Missouri, with two acquaintances, James Rossell and Tyrease Edwards. Two unknown assailants approached the vehicle and opened fire; Cara was struck in the head and died of her injuries. The two men in the car survived that ambush.

Six months later James Rossell was shot and killed in Wellston; in 2006 Tyrease Edwards was also fatally shot in Wellston, and a suspect in Edwards’ death, Travion Williams, later pleaded guilty in that case. Authorities have discussed whether Cara’s killing is connected to the later deaths of the two men, but no concrete evidence has tied the cases together in court. St. Louis County police kept Cara’s murder investigation open, and no one has been charged in her death.

If anyone knew Cara, Rossell, Edwards, or saw the Pontiac or activity at the Greer Avenue parking lot that night, please share information with investigators.
