Michael Shores, 34, was found inside a burning vehicle in the 1200 block of Skinker in St. Louis on September 7, 2014. First responders discovered Shores in the driver’s seat and pulled him from the car, but he had suffered a gunshot wound to the torso and later died at a hospital.

Police say the shooting did not occur where the car was found; investigators believe the encounter began at the intersection of Skinker and Hodiamont when occupants of a black vehicle opened fire on Shores. His vehicle was set on fire after the shooting. No suspects or arrests were publicly identified and no motive was released.

Anyone who was in the Skinker and Hodiamont area that night or who has information about a black vehicle seen near the scene is asked to come forward.
