Colin Brown, a beloved teenage hockey player, died after being struck by a stray bullet on Interstate 55 in Missouri. He was shot while driving home from a game with his family, and despite being taken to the hospital in critical condition, he succumbed to his injuries days later. His family expressed gratitude for the support from law enforcement, the hockey community, and loved ones during this difficult time. Brown’s organs were donated to save the lives of other patients in need, a decision that has been praised by many.
As a talented and dedicated student, Brown was remembered by his high school as a valuable member of the hockey team and a student enrolled in Honors courses. The school and the hockey community have come together to support his family during this tragedy, with a donation fund set up by the Dawg Nation Foundation raising $100K so far. Homicide detectives are working to bring the perpetrator of this senseless crime to justice, urging anyone with information to come forward.
The community has been urged to review home security camera footage for any potential leads, and tips can be reported to the Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers. Brown’s sudden and tragic death has brought the community together in support of his family, and efforts are ongoing to ensure justice is served in his memory.
