On the evening of February 19, 2022, a shooting in the 7800 block of Birchmont Drive in University City, Missouri, left 24-year-old Harvey Holloway III dead. Police responded to shots fired at about 8:32 p.m. and found Holloway and an 18-year-old male with gunshot wounds. Both were taken to a local hospital; Holloway was pronounced dead shortly after arrival and the teenager survived.

Investigators concluded the attack grew out of a dispute over a prior drug transaction in which the suspects believed Holloway had paid with counterfeit currency. Three people drove to Holloway’s home reportedly posing as buyers. When Holloway came outside they opened fire from the vehicle: one assailant fired a handgun from the passenger seat and another fired an AK-style rifle through the sunroof. More than 20 shell casings were recovered.

Authorities identified and charged three suspects. Two men stopped days after the shooting were found in a car matching the description and officers recovered weapons and a large quantity of marijuana. Court filings later stated the driver did not fire, while two occupants opened fire on Holloway. If anyone has information about Harvey Holloway or the events that night, please contribute what is known.
