On June 7, 2020, sixteen-year-old Alani Amari Hutchins of Florissant was fatally shot in St. Louis’ Bevo neighborhood. She was sitting inside a vehicle parked in an alley on the 4200 block of Neosho Street around 2:00 a.m., accompanied by a 21-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman when the car was struck by gunfire. Officers found Alani unresponsive; she was pronounced dead at the scene. The male passenger suffered gunshot wounds and was taken to a local hospital in critical condition. The 18-year-old woman escaped without physical injury.

Homicide detectives searched the alley and sought witnesses, but public reports soon after the shooting said no suspects had been identified and no shooter description was released. The case was listed among several unsolved violent crimes involving youths in the area at that time. Did anyone see or hear anything in the Bevo neighborhood around Neosho Street on the morning of June 7, 2020 that could help investigators?
