On April 5, 2021, a Monday afternoon burst of violence in St. Louis left two young men dead. Around 2:15 p.m., police responded to reports of a shooting and a subsequent car crash near Goodfellow Boulevard and McLaran Avenue in the North Pointe neighborhood. Inside the wrecked vehicle officers found 17-year-old Joseph Williams with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and later died. A few blocks away, at a residence on Coleridge Drive in neighboring Jennings, 20-year-old Mykal Taylor was found fatally shot.

Those two deaths came amid other shootings in the city that day, but investigators initially said they did not find evidence linking the incidents. The families continue to seek answers about who was responsible for these shootings.

If anyone has information about Mykal Taylor or the April 5, 2021 shootings, please share what you know with investigators.
