On the evening of April 14, 2020, 19-year-old Malik Henderson was shot after entering an apartment on the 3600 block of South Broadway in the Marine Villa neighborhood of St. Louis. Henderson had been visiting a friend, 25-year-old Zenobia Johnson, who had given him a key to her residence. He was found on the sidewalk with a puncture wound, taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead.

Three days later, on April 17, Johnson was found fatally shot inside a vehicle on the same block. Detectives considered that Johnson had been interviewed about Henderson’s death and theorized she may have been killed to prevent her from testifying. Investigators focused on 28-year-old Darrell Fisher III, citing a fingerprint on a glass in the apartment and cell tower data placing him near the scenes.

Fisher was charged in June 2020 with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action. After an initial mistrial, a retrial in May 2022 resulted in Fisher being found not guilty on all charges, leaving both deaths without a conviction. If anyone knew Malik, where he spent time that spring, or has information about either incident, please share what is known.
