Colin Brown, a beloved and talented teenage hockey player, died days after being struck by a stray bullet on Interstate 55 in Missouri. He was on his way home from a game with his family when the incident occurred. Despite being rushed to the hospital in critical condition, Brown sadly passed away a few days later. His family expressed deep gratitude to law enforcement, the hockey community, and those who loved Colin, and requested privacy during this difficult time. Brown’s organs were donated to save lives, with his father stating that his donation saved four lives.
The Christian Brothers College, where Brown was a student, mourned his sudden death and described him as a talented and dedicated student and a valuable member of the varsity hockey team. The Dawg Nation Foundation has set up a donation fund to support Brown’s family, raising $100K so far. Homicide detectives are working tirelessly to bring justice in Colin’s name, urging anyone with information to come forward.
Residents in the area of the shooting have been asked to review their home security cameras for potential evidence. No tip or piece of information is too small, and every bit helps in bringing the responsible party to justice. The community is grieving the loss of a promising young individual, with an outpouring of support from friends, family, and strangers alike.
