ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department is asking for the public's help with finding five suspects accused of robbing three teenagers and shooting one in the city's Jeff-Vander-Lou neighborhood.
On Thursday, SLMPD released photos of five suspects wanted in connection with the robbery and shooting investigation.
According to SLMPD, on the evening of July 25, three teenage boys were in the area of the 2800 block of Stoddard Street when they were approached by five unknown male suspects out of nowhere.
