Demarco Dinti Bastain, 21, was shot and killed on a Friday night in March 2014 in the 4900 block of Cote Brilliante in north St. Louis. Police arrived about 9:45 p.m. after reports of gunfire and found him with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Homicide detectives canvassed the area but initially had few leads. No motive or suspects were publicly identified, and investigators described the case as ongoing. Demarco’s uncle, Larry Bastain, said he channeled his grief into nonviolent action, jogging through some of the city’s most dangerous streets to promote change.

If anyone saw or heard something that night on Cote Brilliante or has information about Demarco’s killing, please come forward.
