ST. LOUIS — Homicide detectives with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department are asking for the public's help in finding a person of interest in a May shooting that left two men dead in north St. Louis.
St. Louis police responded to the first shooting on May 12 at the intersection of Riverview Boulevard and Grape Avenue near the North Pointe neighborhood's border with Jennings. They found two men shot inside a car.
Police identified the victims as 59-year-old Mark Hambrick of St. Louis and 57-year-old Wilson Tillman of St. Ann.
Police said the men initially were driving down Riverview Boulevard in a Black Dodge Ram hauling lawnmowers when gunfire rang out.
That's when another driver approached the Dodge, fired several gunshots through the passenger side window and sped off, police said.
Hambrick and Tillman were pronounced dead at the scene. A third man inside the truck, a 55-year-old, was not injured.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Homicide Division directly at 314-444-5371, or anyone with a tip who wants to remain anonymous and is interested in a reward can contact CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS (8477).
