On the night of August 14, 2021, 18-year-old Dwayne Lavell Wysinger Jr. was found near a vehicle in the 1400 block of Lasalle Lane in the Peabody-Darst-Webbe neighborhood of St. Louis with a fatal gunshot wound to his upper body. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Friends and family knew him by nicknames including Wopo Wayne.

After a joint investigation by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and the ATF, a federal indictment unsealed in May 2024 charged two men, 25-year-old Anthony Stewart and 23-year-old Patrick Robinson, in connection with the killing. Prosecutors allege the shooting was a targeted murder-for-hire: that a bounty had been placed on Wysinger, that the suspects tracked him, waited as he approached and entered his vehicle, and then opened fire, striking him multiple times. As of the indictment’s unsealing, the men were in custody and faced federal counts including conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and murder-for-hire.

Does anyone have information about Wysinger’s last movements that night or about activity in the Lasalle Lane area that could help investigators?
