Over the last decade, there have been roughly 1,900 homicides in the city of St. Louis. More than 1,000 remain unsolved. With each unsolved homicide, countless families and friends are left yearning for closure.
For the past several years, APM Reports, St. Louis Public Radio and The Marshall Project have been digging into never-before-seen homicide data from the police department to understand why law enforcement has been so ineffective at one of their core missions: solving crime.
We hope you’ll join us on Tuesday, June 25 at 7:00 p.m. CST to hear from reporters and editors from each organization about what they’ve uncovered. We’ll also hear from community members who have lost loved ones to violence in St. Louis and worked tirelessly to get them justice.
We hope you’ll join us for a moving evening. Audience Q&A and reception to follow.
