On the night of Monday, June 4, 2007, a 49-year-old man named Carl Hodge was shot and killed in St. Louis, Missouri. Police received a report of a homicide at about 11:07 p.m. and found Hodge, who lived on the 1600 block of Arlington Avenue, in the 5400 block of Dr. Martin Luther King Drive near Semple Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds.

Witnesses said the attack appeared unprovoked and happened quickly. They reported a pickup truck pulling up, a male stepping out and firing three times, then returning to the truck and fleeing the scene. Detectives released the vehicle description and were searching for the pickup, but no named suspect was announced in the immediate aftermath.

If anyone saw that pickup or has information about who stepped from it that night, please come forward.
