Donald Lee Yorker, 53, was fatally shot on February 5, 2021, outside his home in the 3300 block of Leola Avenue in St. Louis’s Lindenwood Park neighborhood. He had just arrived home around 5:30 p.m. and was unloading items from his vehicle when a stranger approached and asked for directions to Union Station. As Yorker attempted to help, the man produced a 9mm handgun and shot him once in the face. Yorker was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

St. Louis Metropolitan Police investigators used cell phone data to place a suspect at the scene and say the phone contained a saved image of the victim from a television news broadcast. Police identified the suspect as Ledra Craig, 18 at the time of the shooting, and arrested Craig a little over a month after the killing on charges related to the attack. Prosecutors described the killing as a cold-blooded act against a man who was trying to be helpful to a stranger.

Does anyone in Lindenwood Park remember seeing a person asking for directions around 5:30 p.m. on February 5, 2021, or have other information that could help clarify what happened?
