Robin Perry

St. Louis police responded to a call from the ShotSpotter system in the 4400 block of Ashland Avenue. There, they found Robin Perry, 56, lying on a porch suffering from a gunshot wound. EMS responded and transported the woman to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. The discovery of Perry from a ShotSpotter call is the exception to a trend of such notifications leading to dead ends. A study documenting calls from the system found that over a five-year period, ShotSpotter calls in the St. Louis region yielded enough information for officers to write a report less than 1% of the time.
