ST. LOUIS • A man who was found shot multiple times and carrying petitions to support A Safer Missouri's local control ballot initiative Tuesday night has died, according to police.
Police found 55-year-old Darryl Winston of the 4400 block of Anderson Avenue in an alley between Holly and Clarence avenues near Carter Avenue just before 9 p.m. Tuesday. He was taken to a hospital, where he died at about 11 a.m. today.
He had been shot multiple times in the chest, police say.
Police say witnesses heard two men arguing before the shooting. Police did not have any information on a suspect.
It was unclear whether Winston had been collecting petitions in that neighborhood at the time of the shooting.
A Safer Missouri Citizens' Coalition is sponsoring the 2012 ballot initiative to return control of the St. Louis police department to the city from the state.
A Safer Missouri Citizens' Coalition contracted with National Petition Management to hire workers to collect signatures. About 100 workers signed up to work at polling places yesterday to collect signatures from registered voters, said National Petition Management president Lee Albright.
"We have no idea out of that 100 who it may be," Albright said. "Everyone called back at the end of the day."
Albright said it is unlikely the man was collecting signatures at the time of the shooting because it is not the company's protocol to have workers out that late at night. He said the company employs its workers as independent contractors and pays them per signature.
"They work their own locations and at their own pace," Albright said.
According to A Safer Missouri Citizen's Coalition website: "We have just begun our campaign and are building our coalition, which will eventually include thousands of people statewide...Soon, you may see people in your community gathering signatures to put the Safer Missouri Coalition Initiative on the 2012 ballot."

Quote:Medford Police say the 18-year-old shot and killed by police in January did not have drugs or alcohol in his system when he died.
The Oregon State Police crime lab finished its toxicology report for Elias Ruiz last week, and results say he had not used any intoxicants before he was killed.
