Terrance Wayne Tucker, 42, was found mortally wounded in the rear of 371 Maryland St.
City tax records say the residence is owned by Malcolm Amos. Police sources said he is the younger brother of Hells Angels associate Harold Amos, who is currently serving a nine-year prison term on a 2006 gun and drug conviction.
Police would not comment on Tucker's connection to Malcolm Amos or a possible motive for his killing. No one has been arrested and police still had the house sealed off Monday.
Tucker is the latest in what appears to be an almost unbroken string of killings linked either to street gangs, drugs or both.
Eight people, including eight-month pregnant Joanne Hoeppner, have been killed since last March. She was shot to death in her Magnus Avenue home last week. In Hoeppner's and four other slayings, police have yet to make an arrest -- an unprecedented number of cases for city police to still have unsolved.
Police declined Monday to comment if the violence is connected to gang war over the drug trade.
Const. Jacqueline Chaput said senior officers are looking at what's driving the violence and how police can address it.
Police Chief Keith McCaskill said last week one of the reasons contributing to the violence is that many people are too frightened to talk to police to report crimes or provide information to investigators.
Tucker was found behind the house at about 4 p.m. Friday with a gunshot wound to his upper body. He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at hospital.
