Sandro Bajric, 28, was shot and killed in Saint-Louis, Missouri, in the early morning hours of November 20, 2021. Police responding to reports of shots fired and an accident found Bajric inside a crashed Honda Odyssey van; he was taken to a hospital and later died. Authorities classified the incident as a homicide.

An autopsy found a gunshot wound to Bajric’s back; the bullet appeared to have been fired through the back of the driver’s seat. He also had a bruised abdomen and wounds to his knees, consistent with an assault before the shooting. Surveillance footage later reviewed shows a man later identified as Justin Markee Ledoux holding a handgun near the van, grabbing Bajric and holding him in the rear of the vehicle while another person struck him. Bajric got into the driver’s seat in an attempt to flee and was then shot through the back of the seat, after which the van crashed.

In December 2023, Justin Markee Ledoux, 27, was charged with murder, kidnapping and assault in connection with Bajric’s death. At the time of the November 2021 incident Ledoux was on probation for burglary and felony domestic assault. If anyone knew Sandro or witnessed the events on North 15th Street that night, please come forward with any information.
