Rocoby Rodgers, 20, was found shot to death inside his car in the 2300 block of Blair Avenue in Old North St. Louis during the late hours of February 25, 2021. Investigators say the killing was part of a scheme run through Facebook, where suspects used Messenger to arrange drug deals and lure victims for robbery.

Authorities identified Demorion Little and Antaveon Bernard Le’Vell Kent as the conspirators who targeted Rodgers by arranging a purchase of quarter-pound packages of marijuana. The Drug Enforcement Administration and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police later arrested both men; each pleaded guilty to federal drug and gun charges tied to the marijuana trafficking conspiracy and the shootings. A judge sentenced Demorion Little to 35 years and Antaveon Bernard Le’Vell Kent to 26 years in prison for their roles.

Investigators also linked the same pair to the later killings of Kortlin Williams and Johnnie Jones in similar robbery-motivated shootings. If anyone knew Rocoby’s movements that night or saw activity on Blair Avenue, please share what was seen.
