Otha Fowler was a 17-year-old Black male who died in St. Louis on Saturday, February 7, 2009. The death was investigated as a homicide and prompted an immediate inquiry by local detectives.

Investigators spent the early stages of the case gathering evidence, interviewing potential witnesses and trying to build a timeline of the hours before Fowler’s death. Detectives pursued various leads and sought anyone who might have information or have been involved.

Over time the investigation continued but has not produced a clear resolution that brought full closure to Fowler’s family and the neighborhood. If anyone remembers events or saw something in St. Louis on or around February 7, 2009 that could help, please come forward.
