On Friday, July 3, 2020, Steven Joseph Jr., 25, was shot inside the Quick Stop Market at 4475 Natural Bridge Road in North St. Louis shortly after noon. Officers from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department found him with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police arrested 20-year-old Sheldon Spires the next day, Saturday, July 4, 2020, and prosecutors later charged him with first-degree murder in connection with the killing. The shooting occurred amid an especially violent Fourth of July weekend in the city that left seven people dead and fifteen injured.

Are there details about Joseph’s movements that day, or witnesses at the Quick Stop Market, that could shed more light on what happened?
