Patrick West, 26, was killed in a brazen highway shooting one July evening in St. Louis while driving on Interstate 55 with two of his young sons, ages four and six, in the backseat. Two vehicles pulled alongside West’s car and opened fire; his vehicle crashed into the median and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The boys suffered minor physical injuries from shattered glass.

Family members describe West as a lovable person and a good father of six who had dropped out of high school after his brother was murdered years earlier. He was working as a fast-food manager and was engaged to his high school sweetheart. Investigators said police believed West and another driver, who was grazed by a bullet and reportedly uncooperative, were specifically targeted and that two cars were involved. No arrests or public identifications of suspects have been announced and the case grew cold.

Anyone who knew Patrick, his movements that night, or who has information about vehicles or occupants seen on I-55 that evening is asked to come forward.
