Cerone Baker was 27 when he was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds in the early morning hours of July 31, 2016, in St. Louis, Missouri. His body was discovered in the Walnut Park East neighborhood, on the 4500 block of Alice Avenue, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation but investigators faced difficulty because of a lack of cooperation from potential witnesses in a neighborhood noted for high rates of violence.

Baker’s family and friends continue to seek answers. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please share it with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
