Jeffrey Amick, 42, was fatally shot in a McKinley Heights alley in Saint Louis in the early morning hours of June 5, 2020. Surveillance video shows Joshua Lundak, a local bar owner, shoot Amick multiple times with a pistol after a verbal exchange in the alley in which Amick threw an object at a building owned by Lundak. The footage then shows Lundak retrieving a shotgun from his building and shooting the already injured and unarmed Amick again.

Lundak fled the scene and was later arrested and charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. His defense described a year-long conflict in which Amick allegedly subjected Lundak and his fiancée to threats, being followed, and having guns pointed at them; Lundak’s team argued he acted in self-defense. An April 2022 trial ended in a hung jury that leaned heavily toward acquittal. Lundak subsequently entered an Alford plea to involuntary manslaughter and received a four-year prison sentence.

Did anyone in McKinley Heights see or hear the confrontation that morning, or have additional information about the relationship between the two men?
