Carl C. Blanks Jr. was 19 when he was found dead in St. Louis, Missouri, on November 1, 2007, the victim of a fatal shooting. The death was ruled a homicide and opened a St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department investigation.

According to the case file, the investigation has remained open but unresolved. No suspects have been publicly identified, and investigators report a lack of physical evidence and credible witnesses, which has hindered piecing together the circumstances of the shooting. The homicide remains unsolved and the family and community continue to seek answers.
