ST. LOUIS - Nearly four years after Evan Dorsey was shot while driving his work truck in south St. Louis, his family is still waiting for answers as the case remains unsolved.

Evan Dorsey, 42, was shot on October 7, 2021, n ear Mimika and Garasche Avenues. His truck collided with a tree, and he never spoke another word after the incident. 

Dorsey's mother, sister, and brother took turns staying by his bedside until his death. Tiffiney Mills, who was both a sister and parental figure to Evan, feels the pain of his loss acutely as his birthday approaches next month.

“To us it feels like he was not important enough to put a lot of effort towards looking into that, like, ‘Oh! He had to be doing something but really he was just driving his truck and bullets came through his truck. And he crashed into a tree. Also because they are so overloaded with so many other cases and so much other stuff going on. After a certain amount of effort… I won’t say they give up but they don’t put as much effort there,” Mills said.

St. Louis police have confirmed with FOX 2 that the case remains unsolved, with no arrests made. 

Evan's son, who is currently serving in the military, is trying to move forward. But his mother, Vicki Boyd, says memories of Evan are inescapable.

The family describes not knowing the details of the case as torture, and with each passing birthday, the unanswered questions weigh heavier on them.

“I don’t think it’ll get solved. It’s like it’s pushed by the wayside and nobody’s paying any attention,” Boyd said. “You just have to go on and go on each day. And some days are worse than others because you have visions in your mind or thoughts of what happened and what he was doing.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact the St. Louis Metropolitan Police’s Homicide Division at 314-444-5371 or leave an anonymous tip with CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS.
