Steven Whitfield Jr., 23, was fatally shot in a northwest St. Louis County apartment complex parking lot on the morning of Saturday, December 12, 2020. Police responded just after 11:35 a.m. to a shooting in the 11000 block of Oak Forest Parkway Drive and found Whitfield on the pavement with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead a short time later.

The St. Louis County Police Department’s Bureau of Crimes Against Persons opened a homicide investigation. Detectives urged anyone with information to come forward, but in the days and weeks after the killing no suspects were publicly identified and no arrests were announced. The investigation remains active and the community continues to wait for answers.

If anyone has information about what happened that morning or who was involved, please share it with investigators.
