On the evening of August 16, 2016, 27-year-old Christopher D. Cooper was shot while sitting in his vehicle outside The Broadway Laundromat at 8847 North Broadway in St. Louis. Cooper, an African-American man, was struck multiple times, managed to exit the car and ran into the laundromat seeking refuge, but collapsed just inside the entrance. He was found unconscious by emergency responders and was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Hours later the same laundromat suffered a fire that required response from the St. Louis Fire Department. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department classifies Cooper’s death as an open homicide. No arrests or charges have been announced, and authorities have not released a description of a suspect. St. Louis Regional Crime Stoppers continues to seek tips and has offered rewards for information leading to identification and prosecution of the shooter.

Does anyone in the North Broadway area that night have information about the shooting or the person who fired on Cooper?
