On New Year’s Day 2022, Derrick Eugene Joseph Williams, a 31-year-old Black man, was found slain in the parking lot of a BP gas station near Bates Street and Virginia Avenue in the Carondelet neighborhood of St. Louis. A call came in at about 11:25 a.m., and officers who arrived discovered Williams with a fatal gunshot wound to the head.

Williams had attended school in the Webster Groves School District and was remembered for close, deeply valued friendships. A private service was held for him, with a later balloon release planned to celebrate his life. The death was classified as a homicide and investigators opened an inquiry, but no motive or suspects have been released and no arrests have been announced.

Who in the Carondelet or Webster Groves communities might have information about Derrick’s movements that morning or any vehicles or individuals seen near the BP station around 11:25 a.m. on January 1, 2022?
