A late afternoon in Tower Grove East ended in gunfire on August 6, 2021, when 29-year-old Black male Carl Calloway was found with a gunshot wound in a yard on the 2800 block of Nebraska Avenue. Emergency responders took him to a nearby hospital, but he was pronounced dead from his injuries.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation. Investigators identified and arrested 35-year-old Dameon Edwards; the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office later charged Edwards with second-degree murder and armed criminal action in connection with Calloway’s death. Family and friends memorialized Calloway online and in an obituary.

Does anyone who knew Carl or who was in Tower Grove East that day have information that could help explain what happened?
