ST. LOUIS — Detectives with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department asked for the public's assistance in identifying a suspect in a shooting that left a woman critically injured earlier this month at a gas station.
Officers responded at about 2:20 a.m. Saturday, April 13 to a shooting at the Conoco Gas Station at 4355 South Broadway. There, they found a 32-year-old woman who had a gunshot wound to her lower back.
Preliminary information revealed the victim and the suspected shooter were in an argument when the suspect pulled out a gun and shot the victim. He then got into the passenger side of a white Chevrolet sedan and fled the scene.
Police described the suspect as a man with a medium build wearing a pink hat, black jacket, blue jeans and pink shoes.
Anyone with information who wants to remain anonymous was asked to contact CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS (8477). You can also contact detectives at 314-444-0100.
