Wendell Wayne Wright, 64, was shot multiple times and died after being found on the 1500 block of Wellston Place in Wellston, Missouri, on the morning of December 2, 2019. Police arrived about 9:45 a.m.; Wright was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis joined the North County Police Cooperative in the investigation. Officers later tried to stop a silver BMW that fled; the vehicle was found again that evening and two occupants abandoned it and ran. Two men were taken into custody as persons of interest and ultimately charged: 19-year-old Tyrus K. Young was charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and tampering with a motor vehicle; 22-year-old Keyshawn T. Brown was charged in federal court with possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon. Both were held without bond. The motive has not been released.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or saw the silver BMW on December 2, 2019, please share what was seen.
