Andrew Dare Ameer, 27, was killed on the night of September 27, 2020, after accepting a Lyft ride that took him to the Baden neighborhood of St. Louis near Gast Place and Riverview Boulevard. Police say he was ambushed shortly after 10 p.m. in what investigators believe was a carjacking attempt. A 16-year-old boy named Victor Williams was also shot; both victims were found outside with gunshot wounds, taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened a double homicide investigation and asked the public for information, but no suspects have been identified and no arrests have been announced. Andrew’s family remembers him as a University of Missouri-St. Louis graduate working for Lyft while preparing for graduate school to become a psychologist and as the second of eight children who was devoted to his family.

Andrew’s mother has since filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Lyft, alleging the app was used to lure him to the ambush and arguing the company should face product liability. Does anyone have information about that night or remember seeing activity around Gast Place and Riverview Boulevard on September 27, 2020?
