On the morning of April 2, 2022, 56-year-old Anthony Dodson was found unresponsive in an alleyway in the Fountain Park neighborhood of St. Louis. Authorities discovered him just before 10:00 a.m. on the 700 block of Aubert Avenue and determined he had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Dodson lived nearby on the 700 block of North Euclid Avenue.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and canvassed the neighborhood while trying to trace Dodson’s final movements between his home and the alley. No suspects had been identified and no arrests announced as of the latest reports. There is no public description of a suspect; investigators are asking anyone with information about that April morning to contact the homicide division or submit tips through local crime prevention channels.

If anyone knew Anthony, saw him that morning, or has other information about his movements or potential witnesses, please share what is known with investigators.
