Police Release Grove Shooting Surveillance Footage, Ask For Help

ST. LOUIS, MO — Police are asking for help with a shooting that took place early Monday morning on Manchester Avenue in the Grove. About 1 a.m., officers found 27-year-old Ollie Coleman dead outside outside ShiSha restaurant and Lounge. He had been shot multiple times. A short time later, a 31-year-old woman who had been injured in the same shooting arrived at a nearby emergency room with a gunshot wound to the leg.

Police released surveillance footage of four people they say are suspects Monday night. The footage shows a maroon Chrysler 300 with tented windows, chrome wheels, and a missing front license plate pull up outside the restaurant. Four African American men get out and walk into the restaurant, where they are captured on additional surveillance cameras.

One man is wearing a black jogging suit with white logos. Another has dreadlocks and a hand tattoo and wears camouflage pants and a hoodie with what appears to be a graphic of a stuffed bear. A third wears a stocking cap, Adidas jacket and has facial hair. The last also has dreadlocks and wears a Nike Air hoodie and carries a messenger bag or satchel.

Police haven't said why the men are suspects or released further details of the shooting.
