St. Louis NHL Hopeful Colin Brown Tragically Passes Away at 16 After Succumbing to Injuries From Violent Crime
Colin Brown was a 16-year-old hockey player who tragically passed away after being the victim of a crime, and the St. Louis Blues have something special planned.
Colin Brown, a 16-year-old hockey player from Christian Brothers College High School died Wednesday morning after being struck by a stray bullet Saturday night on Interstate 55 in St. Louis.
That night, Colin was shot at about 10:30 p.m. near Loughborough Avenue while his family was driving home from one of his hockey games.
After the shooting, his father drove to South 4th and Walnut streets, where police and EMS met them. Colin went to the hospital in critical condition and passed away after a few days.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department is investigating. Detectives have received some new videos and are going over those for leads.
The police are asking people living in the neighborhoods surrounding I-55 and Loughborough to check security cameras between 10:30 p.m. and 10:45 p.m. on Nov. 23 for suspicious activity. There's no suspect information being released at this time.
Colin's family asks for privacy. Police Spokesman Mitch McCoy said Colin's organs were donated to help others in need.
The community has rallied around Colin's family, including CBC High School, the St. Louis Blues, and youth hockey organizations. The Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation is matching donations to the family three-to-one, up to $2,500.
The St. Louis Blues shared their condolences in a statement, saying, "Our hearts are broken." The team will hold a pregame moment on Saturday for Colin and raise money for his family through a 50/50 raffle.
The police are still following leads and encourage anyone with information to come forward. May Colin rest in peace.
