The St. Louis and hockey community is in mourning today after the Blues announced the tragic passing of Colin Brown at age 16 after a violent crime.

This past week, the hockey world was rocked by the news of Colin Brown, a 16-year old St. Louis kid at CBC High School, who was shot by a stray bullet as his family drove him home after a hockey game.

His father acted diligently to get him into care as quick as possible, but unfortunately he has succumbed to the injuries, and has now tragically passed away after such a violent and unnecessary crime.

After the news became official, CBC High School released this statement on the young man:

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts and that we share with our Christian Brothers College High School community the news of the tragic loss of our CBC brother, Colin Brown, a member of the Class of 2026 who was the victim of a random shooting this past weekend. As our community grieves together, our prayers, support, and love are with his family and close friends during this most challenging time.

Now, the St. Louis Blues have announced their tribute to Brown, revealing they will honour him before their next home game on Saturday, while proceeds from their 50/50 raffle will go to Browns family.

This tragedy is one that has hit the St. Louis community hard, with Brown's hockey team sharing this tragic tribute on social media:

We love you Colin 💛💜
You will be missed and remembered.

We take this time to join CBC Hockey, the High School and the entire hockey community in sending our condolences to the family, friends, teammates and classmates of Brown, and want them to know that they will be in our thoughts as they navigate such a difficult and tragic time in their lives.
