Richard Colby Williams was 28 when he was found dead in the 2000 block of E. Obear Avenue in St. Louis. An anonymous call brought police to the scene at about 4:45 a.m. on a Saturday; officers discovered Williams with gunshot wounds to his neck and jaw and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police opened a homicide investigation, but there have been no public announcements about arrests or identified suspects. Reporting about the case appears to stop after the initial coverage, leaving the circumstances around the shooting unresolved.

If anyone has information about Richard Williams, his movements that night, or the 2000 block of E. Obear Avenue in the early morning hours, please come forward.
