Staveion Durham was 27 and from Black Jack, Missouri, when he was shot and killed in St. Louis on October 12, 2020. Durham had run out of gas while riding a motorized scooter near Riverview Boulevard and Switzer Avenue in the North Pointe neighborhood and stopped at the scene of a car crash. After pulling the driver from a wrecked vehicle to offer help, an altercation erupted.

Investigators say the driver, Marlon E. Hampton, grabbed a firearm from another person at the scene and fired while Durham stood unarmed, reportedly with his hands raised. The bullet passed through Durham’s hand and into his chest; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Hampton left the scene after the shooting and was later identified by police.
