In the early morning hours of Sunday, May 2, 2021, officers were called to the 2000 block of Obear Avenue in the College Hill neighborhood of North St. Louis after reports of a shooting. First responders found 25-year-old Geniece L. Johnson and a 25-year-old man inside a vehicle, both suffering gunshot wounds. Both were taken to a local hospital; the male victim was stabilized, but Johnson remained critical and died the next day, Monday, May 3, 2021. The Medical Examiner identified her and ruled the death a homicide.

Homicide detectives took over the investigation and CrimeStoppers sought anonymous tips. At the time of the initial reports and subsequent updates, no arrests had been announced and no suspects were named. Johnson was survived by a large extended family, including her mother, father, and children; funeral services were held later that month at Holy Temple Church of God in Christ with interment at Lake Charles Memorial Park Cemetery.

Does anyone in the College Hill or North St. Louis area have information about that night or the vehicle where the victims were found?
