Darrion Glover, 22, was fatally shot on July 12, 2020, in the North Pointe neighborhood of St. Louis City. A school bus driver and father who was engaged to be married, Glover was remembered by family as outgoing, family-oriented, active in sports and always willing to help others. He was known by the nickname Blockhead.

In the months after the killing, Glover’s mother, Monica Glover, and his fiancée, Janiyah Wright, publicly criticized the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, expressing concern the investigation was stalling. By January 2021 detectives had not announced any arrests or identified a suspect; police cited heavy homicide caseloads and difficulties gathering evidence and witness cooperation. Authorities warned that if no leads developed within a year the file would be moved to cold case status.

Anyone with information about Darrion’s death or who was in North Pointe on July 12, 2020 is asked to come forward.
