In the late hours of a September night in St. Louis, a young Black man named Carlos Rall, age 22, was found lying in the 4100 block of Shreve Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds. It was shortly after 11 p.m. on Monday, September 28, 2015, when the grim discovery was made. Emergency services rushed him to a nearby hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.
The fight for his life was a short one, and by the next morning, Tuesday, September 29, 2015, Carlos Rall had succumbed to his injuries. His death was ruled a homicide, adding to the city's troubling statistics of violence that year. In the immediate aftermath, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department launched an investigation into the shooting.
Despite their efforts, details about what led to the shooting and who was responsible were not immediately available. Authorities did not release any information about a potential suspect or suspects in the initial stages of the investigation. As the years have passed, the case of who killed Carlos Rall has grown cold. The investigation remains ongoing, but no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The community has been left with the lingering pain of a young life cut short, and a family is still waiting for justice.
