2016 is shaping up to be one of the worst years for Carbondale gun violence in recent history. What was once an aggravated discharge of a firearm investigation has turned into the second homicide investigation this year for the Carbondale Police Department. David Stockstill Jr., of Carbondale, was shot Feb. 1 and died from his injuries April 6, according to a Carbondale police
news release on Wednesday. The 28-year-old was treated for his injuries at Memorial Hospital of Carbondale before being transferred to a St. Louis-area hospital where he was pronounced dead. It is unclear where and why Stockstill was shot, police say. Police originally believed Stockstill’s injury were nonlife-threatening. He had a listed address in Mound City as well. The Carbondale Police Department is offering $5,000 to anyone with tips that lead to the arrest of the shooter.
