In the early morning hours of August 17, 2016, a resident of St. Louis, MO, named Erol Cizmo, a 29-year-old white male, was found shot multiple times. The discovery was made at approximately 2:00 a.m. in the 2800 block of Mount Pleasant Street. Cizmo was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition, but he ultimately succumbed to his injuries later that day.
Homicide detectives from the St.
Louis Metropolitan Police Department were called to the scene to begin their investigation into the fatal shooting. Despite their efforts, no immediate suspects were identified, and no arrests were announced in the days and weeks that followed. The case remained an active investigation, with authorities seeking any information that could lead to a breakthrough.
Years have passed since the death of Erol Cizmo, and his case is now considered an open homicide. St. Louis Regional CrimeStoppers continues to list his case, appealing to the public for any tips that might help solve the crime. As of late 2025, there have been no publicly announced arrests or naming of any suspects in connection with the murder. The circumstances surrounding the shooting and the motive remain unclear to the public, leaving the case unresolved.
