On a cold November day in 2017, the life of 26-year-old Erick L. Burton, a Black male from St. Louis, Missouri, came to an untimely end. The specific details surrounding the circumstances of his death on November 29th of that year remain shrouded in uncertainty, with publicly available information offering little insight into the events that led to his passing.
Despite the passage of time, official reports and news coverage that would typically follow a violent death have not surfaced in
the public domain. Consequently, there is no information available regarding any potential suspects or arrests in connection with Burton's death. The narrative of his final moments, and whether his death was the result of a criminal act, is a story that has yet to be told. The silence in the public record leaves his family and community without answers and the justice system without a case to pursue.
