Michael Scott Chapman, 40, was found dead inside an apartment on the 3500 block of Bingham Avenue in the Dutchtown neighborhood of south St. Louis on August 30, 2020. Responding officers determined Chapman had been fatally shot and discovered the scene on a quiet Sunday morning.

Police believed a suspect had locked himself inside one of the building’s units, prompting a SWAT response; when officers entered that unit the person they were seeking had already left. Within a few days authorities identified 41-year-old Earnest Moore in connection with the shooting and charged him with first-degree murder and armed criminal action.

Very little has been released about Chapman’s life or about a motive in the shooting. Does anyone in Dutchtown remember seeing or hearing anything unusual that morning, or know Michael Chapman?
