On a Sunday evening in August 2022, Kristopher Steven Blanton, 27, was found lying in the street in the Walnut Park West neighborhood of north St. Louis after a reported shooting. Police arrived about 6:15 p.m., discovered Blanton unconscious and not breathing, and he was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head. He was identified publicly by police the following day.

The shooting was one of four fatal shootings in St. Louis that Sunday. Detectives processed the scene and blocked off the street, and a homicide investigation was opened. Authorities have not released details about what led to the shooting, and no suspects or arrests have been publicly identified. The case remains open; anyone with information is asked to contact the homicide division.

If anyone knew Kristopher or saw activity in Walnut Park West that evening, can you share what you remember with investigators?
