James Andrew Lane was 23 and living in St. Louis, Missouri, when he was killed on October 6, 2014. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Division responded and carried out evidence collection and witness interviews at the scene.

Investigators encountered a scarcity of physical evidence and limited cooperation from people who might have known more, problems that slowed development of leads in the hours after the killing.

Anyone with information about James Lane, his last known movements, or the events of October 6, 2014, is asked to contact the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
