On July 31, 2021, 27-year-old Charlisa Turner was fatally shot outside her parents’ home in Saint Louis, Missouri as she arrived to pick up her three small children, who were inside. Surveillance video showed her ex-husband, Christopher Turner, approach and shoot her multiple times; after getting more ammunition from his vehicle he returned and fired again. Charlisa’s father chased him as he fled but could not catch him, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The former couple had divorced in 2019 after six years of marriage; friends and family described a history of jealousy and violence. Christopher Turner had previously been arrested for domestic assault and had threatened Charlisa with a gun. In the days after the killing, police arrested Christopher Turner and charged him with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. A woman, Tameah Foley, was also arrested and charged with hindering prosecution for allegedly hiding her boyfriend while he evaded police for three days.

The surveillance footage played a central role at trial. Does anyone have further information about Charlisa’s life or the events that led up to that day?
