On December 31, 2021, a trivial argument over whose car was faster ended in a fatal shooting in Overland, a suburb of Saint Louis, Missouri. Thirty-two-year-old Sean Waldon was at a home in the 9400 block of Miriam Avenue when an argument with 23-year-old Deonte M. Robinson became heated and turned physical. Waldon tried to de-escalate by leaving with his family and was getting into a car when Robinson allegedly opened fire, fatally wounding him.

The shooting occurred at about 5 p.m., and witnesses at the scene, including Robinson’s mother, described the dispute about vehicles that preceded the gunfire. The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged Deonte M. Robinson with first-degree murder and armed criminal action, and a judge set bail at $1 million cash.

Does anyone have information about the confrontation that night or knew Sean Waldon?
