ST. LOUIS (AP) - Police identified on Saturday the 43-year-old man who was fatally shot outside St. Louis home a week ago.
Officers found Patrick Evans, of St. Louis, with a puncture wound when they responded to a call for a burglary about 11 p.m. Nov. 20 in the city's College Hill area, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
