On May 30, 2019, officers were sent to the 4500 block of Evans Avenue in the Lewis Place neighborhood of St. Louis after reports of a shooting. Responding crews found 34-year-old Alfreddell Dethrow, a Black male, suffering multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene and investigators treated the incident as a homicide.

Homicide detectives canvassed the area for evidence and witnesses, but details about what led to the shooting remained scarce. No suspects were publicly named and no arrests were reported in the immediate aftermath; detectives cited few leads and a lack of witnesses willing to come forward.

Anyone with information about Dethrow’s final movements or who may have been in the Lewis Place area that afternoon is asked to share what they know.
