On September 17, 2021, around 1:30 a.m., 31-year-old Patrice Renee Wimbley was shot and killed inside a vacant house in the 2900 block of Kossuth Avenue in Saint Louis’s Fairground neighborhood. Wimbley was with two other women when the shots were fired. A second woman, 30-year-old Jamie Willard, was also killed; a 42-year-old woman was wounded and taken to a hospital.

Investigators identified 62-year-old Charles Anderson, of the 4000 block of North 25th Street, as the suspect. Anderson was already in custody in Jennings on unrelated charges when he was later charged in connection with the shootings. He faces two counts of first-degree murder, three counts of armed criminal action, and one count of first-degree assault. No motive has been released, and authorities have not explained why the women were inside the abandoned building.

If anyone knew Patrice, Jamie, or has information about who was in that house that night, please share what you know.
