On the evening of May 30, 2010, 18-year-old Tonia B. Parson was sitting in a car in the 5200 block of Palm Street in St. Louis when multiple gunshots struck her in the head and shoulders, killing her. The attack left a family and community grieving and prompted a police homicide investigation that produced public appeals for information.

Despite those efforts the case went cold. No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. Tonia’s mother, Michelle Parson, continued to honor her daughter’s memory at an annual vigil for homicide victims and spoke there in 2015 about ongoing grief and the need to remember the lost.

If anyone remembers that night on Palm Street or has information that could help bring answers in Tonia’s case, please come forward.
