On a Wednesday evening in May 2019, 56-year-old Vincent Sanders, a Black man, was shot inside a vehicle near North Grand Boulevard and Natural Bridge Avenue in the Fairground neighborhood of St. Louis. Officers responding to a report of a shooting found Sanders wounded and he was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Police say the shooting followed a verbal argument between Sanders and another man, who then produced a firearm, shot Sanders and fled. Detectives focused on identifying that individual and named 28-year-old Taylor Meanus as a person of interest. Meanus was taken into custody by St. Louis County police on the Saturday after the shooting, and the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office charged him with first-degree murder and armed criminal action the following day.

The motive behind the argument that escalated to the shooting remains a central question. Does anyone have information about Sanders, the location that evening, or what led up to the confrontation?
