Justin J Welch, 27, was shot and killed on the night of Friday, May 22, 2015, in the West End of St. Louis. Around 11:05 p.m. he was found in the 5500 block of Herbert Street with multiple gunshot wounds to his head, face, hand, legs, and torso and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say Welch, who lived on the 900 block of Goodfellow, had gone to the area to buy drugs and joined a group of men in a dice game. An argument during the game turned physical between Welch and another man; after the fight two men chased him and shot him as he ran away.

The investigation remains open. Authorities have not publicly identified suspects or announced any arrests and are seeking two men believed to have been involved. If anyone saw what happened that night or has information about the men involved, please come forward.
