A fatal, targeted robbery left five men dead inside a vacant apartment near Dellwood in northern St. Louis County on July 6, 2019. Rodney E. Holt, 37, was one of the five African American men found shot to death after an earlier companion returned to the unit and discovered the victims unresponsive. The other victims were aged between 40 and 65.

Investigators say the victims were inside the vacant unit when armed assailants confronted them, demanding money and drugs; the encounter escalated and the perpetrators opened fire. Police identified and arrested two suspects in the days after the discovery. Terrance Wesley, 29, was taken into custody after a standoff near the scene, and 30-year-old Anthony Watkins Jr. was arrested at police headquarters. Prosecutors charged both men with five counts of first-degree murder, five counts of attempted robbery, and multiple counts of armed criminal action.

Was anyone in the community connected to the victims or present near that apartment on July 6 who can help fill gaps in the timeline?
