Sharon Denise Hampton, a Black woman from St. Louis, Missouri, is listed as a homicide victim in a Washington Post database that tracked murders in major U.S. cities through 2018. The record does not provide a date or circumstances of her death and there is no widely published reporting about the incident.

The analysis that includes her case highlights a pattern of limited investigative progress and low arrest rates in many killings of minority victims; for Hampton there were no indications in that report of an arrest, an identified primary suspect, or later legal proceedings.

If anyone knew Sharon, was with her around the time of her death, or has information about this case, please come forward with tips for investigators.
