On the morning of February 2, 2021, 30-year-old Jamell D. Killiebrew was shot and killed during a confrontation in the 9800 block of Omega Drive in the Moline Acres neighborhood of St. Louis County, Missouri. The dispute between Killiebrew and another man escalated around 11:30 a.m.; that man produced a firearm and shot Killiebrew twice at close range. Witnesses reported the shooter also fired at a second person but missed and then fled on foot.

Officers from the St. Louis County Police Department found Killiebrew with fatal gunshot wounds. A 21-year-old man, Jy-Don Harnett, returned to the scene while police were present, surrendered, and reportedly admitted involvement. Investigators allege Harnett confessed to discarding the weapon in a nearby sewer; police later recovered a firearm there. Harnett was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and two counts of armed criminal action and held on a one million dollar cash-only bond.

In January 2022 prosecutors dropped all charges, including the murder count, saying the evidence had changed significantly and no longer supported proceeding ethically. The case remains without a prosecuted perpetrator. Did anyone in Moline Acres see or hear anything that morning that could still help clarify what happened?
