Colin Brown, a beloved and talented teenage hockey player, tragically died days after being struck by a stray bullet on Interstate 55 in St. Louis. Despite being transported to the hospital in critical condition, Brown passed away on Wednesday morning. His family expressed deep appreciation for the support of law enforcement, the hockey community, and those who loved Colin, while also requesting privacy during this difficult time. Brown’s organs were donated to save other patients in need, with his father stating that his donation saved four lives.
Christian Brothers College, where Brown was a student, mourned his sudden passing and described him as a dedicated student and valuable member of the hockey team. The Dawg Nation Foundation has set up a donation fund for Brown’s family, raising $100,000 so far. Homicide detectives are actively working to ensure justice is served in Colin’s name, and are urging anyone with information on the incident to come forward.
Residents living in the area of I-55 and Loughborough have been asked to review their home security cameras for potential footage of the shooting. Police emphasize that no tip or piece of information is too small, as they work to bring those responsible to justice. The community has come together to support Brown’s family during this challenging time, with an outpouring of love and donations in his memory.
