Teenage hockey player returning from game in Missouri dies after being hit by stray bullet
A “beloved and talented hockey player” died days after being hit by a stray bullet on Interstate 55 in Missouri.
Colin Brown, a teenage hockey player, was struck by a stray bullet on Interstate 55 in St. Louis as he was on his way home from a game with his family around 10:30 p.m. last Saturday, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said in a news release.
After he was shot, his father immediately alerted authorities and continued to drive till they were met by police and EMS, who transported the 16-year-old to a hospital “in critical condition.”
Brown remained in critical condition at the hospital for a few days before he died Wednesday morning, police said.
“It is with a heavy heart – I share with you that 16-year-old Colin Brown has died after being shot by a stray bullet Saturday night on I-55,” St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson Mitch McCoy said in a statement. “Colin’s family has asked that I relay their deep appreciation to law enforcement, the hockey community and those who loved Colin.”
“They are asking for privacy at this time,” he added.
Player donated organs
McCoy, in his statement, also shared that Brown donated his organs to “other patients in desperate need.”
“Colin passed away but not before giving the ultimate gift of life,” McCoy said. “Earlier today, Colin’s organs were donated to other patients in desperate need.”
Friends, family and staff members lined the hallways of the hospital as Brown, who aspired to be a doctor, was taken to become an organ donor, FOX2Now reported. Brown’s father told the media outlet his son’s donation saved four lives.
Christian Brothers College, a high school in St. Louis, where Brown was a student mourned his sudden demise and described him as “a talented and dedicated student who was enrolled in Honors courses, and he was a valuable member of our CBC Varsity Hockey team.”
“As our community grieves together, our prayers, support, and love are with his family and close friends during this most challenging time,” the school said in a post on Facebook.
The Dawg Nation Foundation, a registered non-profit organization “whose mission is to support members of our hockey community” in times of crisis has also set up a donation fund for Brown to help his family.
The foundation told USA TODAY Thursday that $100K in support of the Brown family has been raised so far.
No tip too small
McCoy said homicide detectives “have been working around the clock to ensure justice is served in Colin’s name,” adding the department has received several tips, including a new video since Monday, all of which are under review and investigation.
The department has also requested anyone with information on the incident to contact the Homicide Division directly at 314-444-5371. Those wishing to remain anonymous or are interested in a possible reward can call Crime Stoppers at 866-371-8477. Residents living in the area of I-55 and Loughborough have been specially requested to review their home security cameras, which may have captured the shooting.
“No tip or piece of information is too small. Every little bit helps us bring the person or persons responsible to justice,” police said in the news release.

What our Post expert thinks about Chiefs futures
Kansas City’s reign over the AFC West is slipping, with a 5-5 start and a three-game gap behind Denver signaling how far the Chiefs have drifted from their decade of dominance.
Their problems aren’t tied to one glaring flaw; instead, they’ve slid into the middle of the pack across key areas like run defense, rushing production and scoring efficiency.
A sputtering offense and uneven results against top-tier opponents have left them fighting just to stay in the postseason picture.
It’s no surprise they’re sitting at 11/1 to win the Super Bowl — a number that reflects a team searching for answers more than one chasing a title.

No. 22 Missouri looks to disrupt No. 8 Oklahoma’s momentum in Week 13 clash
Missouri heads to Norman on Saturday for a pivotal late-season matchup that carries real weight for both programs. Oklahoma enters the weekend as a touchdown favorite at home, backed by a 70% win probability in Dimers’ simulations, and the Sooners will try to lean on their defense to control the tempo in a game projected to stay low scoring. Missouri, meanwhile, comes in as a live underdog with a 55% chance to cover, and the Tigers have shown enough resilience this season to make this a far more competitive meeting than the odds might suggest.
With a projected final of 26–19 in favor of Oklahoma, the analytics point toward a tight, defense-driven contest—one where field position, turnovers, and red-zone execution could swing everything. Both teams remain firmly in the postseason conversation entering Week 13, and with the total sitting at just 42.5, every possession at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium may feel magnified.

Where Kansas City-area cities stand on 23-hour alcohol sales during World Cup in Missouri

A new Missouri law will allow bars and restaurants to operate 24/7 and extend beer and liquor sales hours when FIFA World Cup 26 comes to North America next summer, but political subdivisions — think cities and counties — can opt out of the extended hours.
The Independence City Council unanimously voted Oct. 20 to allow establishments to stay open around the clock, but it opted out of extending hours for beer and liquor sales.
Instead, the usual 1:30 a.m. closing time, when alcohol-by-the-drink sales must end, will remain in place from June 11 to July 19, but other cities plan to let the 23-hour beer and liquor sales go into effect.
Kansas City, Missouri, which allows some bars to remain open until 3 a.m. anyway, plans to allow bars and restaurants to sell booze from 6 a.m. to 5 a.m., as allowed under the new Missouri law, which passed on May 9 and was signed into law July 10.
Liberty, Gladstone and Raymore also have discussed the issue and plan to allow the law to take effect, according to city officials in those municipalities.
“Keeping our local approach aligned with state guidance provides consistency for our residents, businesses and visitors,” the City of Raymore said in a statement. “We’ll work closely with our local establishments and public safety partners to ensure everything runs smoothly and responsibly during this highly anticipated event.”
Licensed businesses in cities that don’t take action to opt out won’t have to jump through additional hoops to take advantage of the round-the-clock operation and 23-hour booze sales changes.
“Licensees are not required to apply to the commission for approval and no special temporary license or permit shall be required of any licensee for the purposes of this temporary extension,” according to House Bill 1041.
It’s up to cities and counties to proactively take action if they want to opt out of 24/7 operations and 23-hour alcohol sales. The law automatically sunsets on July 20, 2026.
The Lee’s Summit City Council will consider an ordinance tonight — Tuesday, Nov. 18 — to opt out, while Belton — where city officials are leaning toward not opting out, a spokesperson told me — will begin discussions about the law next week.
Blue Springs, Grandview and Raytown are aware of the new law and are still discussing whether to opt out or not.
