Carmen L. Watson was 20 when she was killed in north St. Louis on October 30, 2013. In the early morning, she was visiting with two friends outside a home in the 1100 block of Aubert Avenue when a man emerged from a nearby gangway and began firing into the group. A bullet struck Carmen in the shoulder; she was taken to a local hospital after emergency crews arrived about 2:30 a.m. but was later pronounced dead.

One friend returned fire during the attack, though it is unknown whether the shooter was hit. Police were unable to identify a suspect or make arrests initially; the investigation was hampered by scarce detailed descriptions and limited witness cooperation. The case remains an open, unsolved homicide and Crime Stoppers has offered rewards for tips.

If anyone knew Carmen, was in that neighborhood that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
