Charles Dewayne Perkins, a 42-year-old Black man, died in St. Louis, Missouri, on May 25, 2007.

St. Louis recorded 138 homicides in 2007. Around the same time, on June 13, 2007, the body of an unidentified Black male estimated to be 16 to 30 years old was recovered from the Mississippi River near Arsenal Street; he had been dead for several months and was wearing a t-shirt with Amerikus and Triple Crown logos, blue jeans, and a Star Wars: The Phantom Menace wristwatch. No official connection between that discovery and Perkins has been reported.

Few facts are known about Perkins final days or the investigation into his death. Does anyone have information about Perkins, his last known whereabouts, or possible leads in this case?
