Eric Rogers, 28, was killed in a drive-by shooting on the morning of April 27, 2021, on Chouteau Avenue near South 14th Street in the Peabody-Darst-Webbe neighborhood of Saint-Louis, Missouri. Police found Rogers in the street with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators linked the vehicle used in the drive-by to Carlos Young. Young told police he regularly drove that vehicle and maintained an alibi for the time of the shooting. He was tried in September 2022 on charges of second-degree murder and armed criminal action; the jury convicted him of the lesser counts of involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action.

In April 2023 Young was sentenced to 18 years in prison: ten years for involuntary manslaughter and eight years for armed criminal action. Anyone with information about Eric Rogers or the events on Chouteau Avenue that morning is asked to come forward.
