On the afternoon of October 5, 2021, 52-year-old Anthony Keith Lane was shot in the Fairground neighborhood of Saint Louis, Missouri. Around 12:30 p.m. Lane and a male acquaintance were standing in a vacant lot or alleyway in the 4300 block of Warne Avenue when a stranger emerged from a nearby yard and opened fire on them and the acquaintance’s vehicle. The acquaintance escaped unharmed; Lane was found in critical condition and taken to Saint Louis University Hospital, where he later died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators later developed a suspect. In early January 2022 the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department arrested 19-year-old Turner T. Williams and the Circuit Attorney’s Office charged him with first-degree murder and armed criminal action; a judge ordered Williams held without bail pending further proceedings.

If anyone saw activity in the 4300 block of Warne Avenue on October 5, 2021, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
