Romaine Rodgers, a 23-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in St. Louis on the night of Friday, August 12, 2016. The shooting happened about 10:30 p.m. in the 5500 block of Etzel Avenue in the West End neighborhood. Officers found Rodgers unresponsive in the street with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department homicide unit handled the initial investigation. Authorities did not release a motive or identify suspects at the time, and no public announcements about arrests or suspect identifications have been made since. The killing was one of two homicides in the city that day.

Few key details have been publicly shared about what led to Rodgers being on Etzel Avenue that night or about possible witnesses. Does anyone have information about Romaine’s last movements or who might have seen something that evening?
