On a late Thursday afternoon in St. Louis, Missouri, the life of 49-year-old Milloria Washington was tragically cut short. On December 29, 2016, at approximately 3:45 p.m., Washington was seated in her car on the 4000 block of Delmar Boulevard when she was fatally shot.
Responding officers found Washington inside her vehicle, suffering from a gunshot wound. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, but her injuries proved to be too severe, and she was pronounced dead.
The preliminary investigation suggested that the shooting was not a random act of violence. St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department officials stated that the suspect, who was a passenger in a maroon four-door car, may have known Washington. The assailant fled the scene immediately after the shooting.
Despite the initial belief that the suspect might be known to the victim, no arrests have been publicly announced in the years following the incident. The case has grown cold, leaving a void in the lives of her family and friends. Described as a very friendly and outgoing registered nurse, Milloria Washington was a passionate caregiver who, according to those who knew her, would give the world if she had it. The investigation into her death remains ongoing, a painful and unresolved chapter for her loved ones.
