Teen hockey player killed by stray bullet during ride home from game in St. Louis

A 16-year-old has died after being hit by a stray bullet last weekend on a St. Louis highway.

Colin Brown was hit Saturday night while being driven home in his father's car after playing a hockey game, CBS affiliate KMOV-TV reported.

The high school junior died Wednesday in a hospital, police said.

Police spokesman Mitch McCoy called it a "rare" situation of someone being struck by a stray bullet in the city.

No arrests have been made but police have received tips and new video evidence.

Lily Paniucki told KMOV-TV she was in downtown St. Louis for a friend's birthday party when she heard Brown's dad shouting for help. She told the station she jumped in to perform CPR. Brown was pronounced dead at the hospital on Wednesday

Devastated to hear of the passing of Colin Brown, a 16-year-old who was tragically shot while riding home from his hockey game on I-55.

The lawlessness plaguing St. Louis must stop, and the criminal responsible for this tragedy must be held accountable.

Claudia and I are praying for Colin’s family and the entire
