Kelvon Phillips was 19 when he was shot and killed in a Budget Inn parking lot on Dunn Road in North St. Louis County on the evening of February 17, 2019. Surveillance footage shows 23-year-old Ivan Henley getting into the passenger seat of Phillips’ car; muzzle flashes are visible on the video though it is not clear who fired first. Phillips was struck multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene; Henley, who was also wounded, fled in his own vehicle and later sought treatment at a hospital.

Investigators recovered evidence from Phillips’ car, including Henley’s blood on the passenger seat, and cell phone records that documented communication about drug and gun sales between the two men. Henley was charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, unlawful possession of a firearm, and tampering with physical evidence, and was held on a $1 million cash-only bond. If anyone knew Kelvon Phillips or saw him that night, information could still be helpful.
