On the night of July 13, 2020, 21-year-old Omar Harris was sitting in a vehicle near Saint Louis University in St. Louis when gunfire erupted. Harris and 20-year-old Arie Bagsby were parked on the 300 block of North Grand Boulevard outside a church near Lindell Boulevard when a shooter fired between 15 and 25 rounds into their car.

Both young men were fatally wounded; a witness account noted that former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens was nearby and rendered aid before emergency responders arrived. Harris’s father described him as a good kid with no involvement in the conflict that led to the shooting, and investigators later described the attack as a case of mistaken identity. A suspect, identified as 19-year-old Deshaun Ewing at the time, was connected to the scene and eventually charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Harris and Bagsby.

Anyone with information about that night is asked to come forward.
