ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - The search continues for the suspect who shot and killed a 30-year old MetroLink security guard Sunday morning at the Delmar Loop station.

"The suspect is described as a black male, 40s, wearing black hooded sweatshirt with orange lettering that may reference a football team," Police say. "He's also wearing a black coat, dark blue face 'Gator' style mask, stocking cap with orange lettering, black computer type bag w/strap, dark pants, graying beard/mustache, grayish hair protruding from stocking cap. The suspect is armed with a pistol and may frequent the mass transit system."
Cook is married with two small children. Sullivan Independent News reports he did not have life insurance, so a Go Fund Me account has been setup. It has raised more than $13,000 towards a goal of $100,000 to help Cook's family.
