Henry Montez Spruell was 25 when he was shot and killed in broad daylight in St. Louis County, Missouri, in November 2008. The attack occurred just after 1:45 p.m. in a residential neighborhood on the 7600 block of Forestview; neighbors heard the gunfire and emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

St. Louis County Police Department homicide detectives canvassed the area, interviewed witnesses, and pursued leads, but investigators struggled to develop definitive answers. No arrests were publicly reported and no suspects were formally charged. Spruell’s death became one of several unsolved homicides that affected the community and his family, who held out hope that new information or forensic advances might one day break the case.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or who knew Henry have information that could still help investigators?
