Antonio T. Green Jr., 24, was shot and killed on the night of April 20, 2021, in the Spanish Lake area of St. Louis County, Missouri. Police found Green inside a car in a driveway on the 1100 block of Scott Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead in the early hours of April 21, 2021.

Investigators tied the killing to 30-year-old Christopher Bolden of St. Louis after witnesses and surveillance footage linked a rental car registered to him to the scene. Prosecutors say the shooting grew out of a personal dispute: Green had been dating Bolden’s ex-girlfriend, with whom Bolden had two children, and Bolden had reportedly attempted to contact her more than 100 times before the incident. The ex-girlfriend told police Bolden approached the vehicle, opened the rear driver’s side door, spoke to those inside, then fired three shots at Green; she escaped into the house after a brief threat.

Bolden was arrested in Montgomery County, Illinois, while in the same vehicle and extradited to Missouri. The case went to trial, and a jury convicted him of second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, two counts of armed criminal action, and unlawful possession of a firearm; he was later sentenced to life plus 15 years. Green’s family gave emotional testimony about the impact of his death.
