On the afternoon of March 11, 2023, 21-year-old Paul Stittum was found inside his Florissant, Missouri home on Glenvale Court with a fatal gunshot wound. Emergency responders arrived just after noon but Stittum was pronounced dead at the scene. The St. Louis County Police Department’s Crimes Against Persons unit opened an investigation into the shooting.

A 17-year-old male was taken into custody shortly after the incident; authorities said the juvenile was known to the victim. Paul’s family and friends remembered him as hilarious, crazy, funny, chill, a really good friend, independent, a great cook, and someone who loved his grandmother dearly.

If anyone who knew Paul or his circle around Glenvale Court on March 11 has information, please share what you remember with investigators.
