Brown was subsequently rushed to the hospital, however, he eventually passed away from his injuries.
This is a truly tragic event and it captured the attention of the St. Louis Blues who posted about it.

RIP Colin Brown
The people who did this to Brown, have not been identified and they have not been found.
Brown's family has put out a statement on what occurred, and they are thanking people for their support.
As a family and as a former law enforcement official with over 28 years of experience, we believe that greater efforts are needed in the City of St. Louis and the surrounding region to support the police and equip them with the necessary tools to combat such senseless, violent gun crimes.
Additionally, we want to thank the St. Louis and Chicago hockey communities for their overwhelming support during this difficult time. In particular, we appreciate the hockey communities of Affton, Affton Central States, CBC, O'Fallon Ice Hockey Club, the Southern Illinois Ice Hawks, the Central State Developmental Hockey League, Mid States Hockey, and MVCHA.
Please continue to pray for our son and his medical team. Fight for Brownie #72.
Sincerely,
The Brown Family
This is a truly horrendous tragedy and we cannot imagine what Brown's family must be going through.
We send the family our condolences during this very difficult time.
