In the late hours of August 12, 2015, a violent series of events unfolded across St. Louis, Missouri, resulting in the death of 28-year-old Timothy A. Coney. He was one of four individuals killed in separate shooting incidents that occurred overnight in the city, a spasm of violence that also left two others injured. Coney was discovered suffering from fatal gunshot wounds, and despite emergency response efforts, he succumbed to his injuries. Authorities identified him publicly two days later as they worked to piece together the timeline of the disorderly night.
Coney, known affectionately by friends and family as '3 Tim,' was a father to two children. He was described by those who knew him as a caring and family-oriented individual who shared a close bond with his father, who went by the nickname '4.' His death left a significant void in the lives of his relatives, particularly his children, for whom he was a dedicated parent. The loss was compounded by the chaotic nature of the night, which saw police resources stretched across multiple crime scenes throughout the metro area.
As of the latest available records, the investigation into Timothy Coney's death has remained open, with the case listed among Missouri's unsolved homicides. Law enforcement officials at the time struggled to find immediate suspects in the string of shootings, and no specific arrests or charges directly linked to Coney's murder were widely publicized in the immediate aftermath. The case persists as an active inquiry for detectives in St. Louis seeking to bring closure to the unsolved status of the investigation.
