Anthony Bruce, 31, was found with multiple gunshot wounds across a curb in the 4500 block of McMillan Avenue in the Lewis Place neighborhood of St. Louis on April 19, 2021. Officers and EMS arrived about 6:45 a.m., and Bruce was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say Bruce had been out the night before with a longtime friend, Darius Jamar Meeks, and two women they met at a club. The men returned to Bruce’s home and got into an argument that turned physical; Bruce struck Meeks with a punch, and Meeks ran to his car. Bruce chased him holding a piece of a brick and clung to the passenger side as Meeks tried to drive away. Meeks lowered the passenger window and fired two shots that struck Bruce, then fled, running a red light and colliding with another vehicle before abandoning his car and running on foot.

Meeks turned himself in a few days later and admitted to the shooting; he was charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon. Both the shooting and the subsequent car crash were captured on video. Does anyone have information about Bruce’s movements that night or saw the events near McMillan Avenue?
