On the evening of October 23, 2019, in the Walnut Park West neighborhood of St. Louis, 19-year-old Cartrell Amos was fatally shot inside a home on the 6000 block of Schulte Avenue. The shooting occurred about 8:25 p.m.; Cartrell was found near the back door. A 14-year-old companion also suffered multiple gunshot wounds and survived after being taken to a local hospital. The incident has been described as a home invasion.

No suspects were identified at the scene and no arrests were made. The investigation remained open but produced few leads, leaving Cartrell’s family without answers. His father, Carlos Amos, has publicly questioned why his son was killed. Cartrell’s death is one of several unsolved homicides of Black residents on that stretch of Schulte Avenue.

Does anyone have information about what happened that night or remember unusual activity on Schulte Avenue around October 23, 2019?
