Cortez Ivory, 37, was found fatally shot inside a vehicle on December 28, 2017, on the 4300 block of Cote Brilliante Avenue in the Greater Ville neighborhood of St. Louis. Officers pronounced him dead at the scene; the medical examiner reviewed the case and funeral arrangements were handled by Serenity Memorial Funeral and Cremation Service with services in early January 2018.

Homicide detectives with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department took over the inquiry, canvassing the area and trying to trace Ivory’s movements before he was found alone in the car. Authorities did not release a motive or name any suspects in initial reports, and no immediate arrests were announced in the period following the killing.

Anyone with information about Cortez Ivory’s movements that night or who may have seen activity on Cote Brilliante Avenue is asked to share tips with investigators.
