Bariah Crump was 28 when he was shot and killed in St. Louis, Missouri, on July 5, 2014. A barber known to friends and family as 2 Blacc, he was a father of three daughters and remembered for his dancing and sense of humor. Crump had been attending Fourth of July holiday festivities downtown that night when violence broke out across the city; police described his shooting as a robbery gone wrong and he was one of several people shot during the overnight surge, which left two dead and two others wounded.

In the years after his death the investigation appears to have made little public progress. By 2017 his case was cited among St. Louis homicides that remained unsolved, and friends and family used social media and public forums to express grief and frustration that no suspects had been publicly named or arrested. The killing took a young father from his daughters and left questions for those who knew him.

If anyone remembers Bariah that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward to help his family find answers.
