Sherion R. Evans was found dead in an alley in the 4400 block of Lee Avenue in St. Louis on the morning of May 27, 2007. The 49-year-old Black woman had been assaulted, discovered nude with severe head trauma and a puncture wound to her neck. Investigators concluded she was likely killed elsewhere and her body dumped in the alley.

Detectives noted striking similarities between Evans’s death and the killing of 36-year-old Beranda Hunt, whose nude, beaten body was found on May 17, 2007, in an alley in the 4500 block of Maffitt Avenue, less than a mile away. The close timing, proximity and condition of both victims prompted investigators to consider a possible connection.

By 2018 the Evans case had gone cold with no arrests and no publicly identified suspects. Does anyone with information about Sherion Evans, Beranda Hunt or activity in those neighborhoods in May 2007 have details to share?
