In the early morning hours of June 17, 2020, Richard Lovelace, a 23-year-old Black man, was found inside a residence on the 4600 block of Tennessee Avenue in the Dutchtown neighborhood of St. Louis with fatal gunshot wounds. Officers arrived at about 12:28 a.m.; emergency personnel pronounced Lovelace dead at the scene. Detectives from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s homicide division canvassed the area and gathered evidence from the home.

Investigators identified a suspect and the following day took 21-year-old Amir Muhamed Abdullah-Raheem into custody. The Circuit Attorney’s Office charged Abdullah-Raheem with first-degree murder and armed criminal action, and a judge ordered him held without bond as proceedings began. Has anyone in Dutchtown heard or seen anything that could help clarify what happened that night?
