Crime Stoppers Needs Your Help

Crime Stoppers is asking your help to solve the following crimes. If you know something, say something. Even the smallest bit of information may be just what law enforcement needs to solve these cases.

If you know who was involved in his death or know anything about this homicide, please let us know. The minimum reward for an arrest is $1,250.

St. John: On Wednesday, June 23 at 10 p.m. in the area of Hill Street, a man found that his gray and navy green backpack had been taken from his parked red Ford Explorer.
