On Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2019, a dispute at the Love’s gas station at 6124 N. Broadway in north St. Louis escalated into lethal gunfire. Thirty-three-year-old Shawn Stewart, a Black man, and his 56-year-old father got into an altercation with another customer, 64-year-old Marvin Humphrey, after a verbal dispute inside the store about the time it was taking to make a purchase. Surveillance shown at trial later captured the argument at the counter and a physical fight that continued outside, where Stewart allegedly punched Humphrey many times and kicked him after he had fallen.

As Humphrey rose, he produced a firearm and shot both Shawn Stewart and Stewart’s father multiple times. Police arriving around 1:21 p.m. found both men unconscious. Shawn Stewart had been shot in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene; his father was shot in the back and survived. Humphrey was charged in January 2020 with first-degree murder, assault, and armed criminal action; his defense asserted he acted in self-defense. A jury acquitted Marvin Humphrey on all charges on September 21, 2022, accepting the self-defense claim.

Does anyone have information about the events at that Love’s station or witnessed the confrontation on November 28, 2019?
