AFFTON, Mo. – Police are still looking for the suspect in a shooting that left a 16-year-old in critical condition. At the same time, the outpouring of support for the teenager and his family is growing by the minute.

Colin Brown was shot Saturday as his family drove home from one of his hockey games on Interstate 55. Police are canvassing the area, knocking on doors and asking for security footage from residents.

Hockey sticks appear everywhere, all for Colin. Amanda Rogers started printing stickers for the helmets of his teammates from two teams: the Affton club team and CBC High School.

“I just made them in my house, in my little craft room that I have. Then word got out and everyone wanted these stickers. I just started mass producing it,” she said.

Now a Kirkwood hockey dad is helping to print stickers, which has grown to more than 5,000, serving not only Missouri and Illinois, but Tennessee and beyond. The stickers alone have earned Brown’s family more than $4,000.

In addition, Bar Down Sports Bar in South County, owned by hockey dad Rick Metzing, is collecting donations and hosting a Blues Watch party on Saturday, with 25 percent of sales going to the Brown family.

“Colin strong: that thing really hits home. Every youth hockey kid… puts out their sticks,” Metzing said.

Many hockey games in the area observe a moment of silence, often 72 seconds, representing Colin’s number on the ice.

Rogers visited the family.

“They feel the support; they see the support. I don’t think there’s enough thanks in the world for what people do, you know,” she said.

CrimeStoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information on a suspect in this shooting.

The Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation, a non-profit organization, will provide a three-for-one match for every dollar donated to Colin’s family, up to a maximum of $2,500 dollars.
