Louis Ray Finchem, a Black man, was recorded by the city of St. Louis as a homicide victim in 2010.

Finchem’s death was later cited in a 2018 analysis that examined homicide arrest rates across major U.S. cities. That review listed his murder among many unsolved cases and highlighted a wider pattern: most unsolved homicide victims in the study were Black, and arrests were less likely in cases involving Black victims. As of the records referenced in that analysis, no suspects had been publicly identified and no charges had been filed, leaving the case open.

Is there anyone who knew Louis Ray Finchem or who has information that could help investigators?
