Vincent Martin Sanders was 35 and a St. Louis resident when he was fatally shot on the afternoon of January 6, 2019. Known by his stage name Veeno Gunna, he worked as a rapper, videographer, and graphic designer and was described by loved ones as devoted to his family, including his young son.

Sanders intervened at a gas station near South Broadway and Chippewa Street in the Marine Villa neighborhood after two young women said a man was harassing and staring at them. Court documents say a verbal confrontation with 42-year-old Christopher L. Rainey escalated into a physical fight; Sanders reportedly punched Rainey, who then produced a firearm and shot Sanders in the chest. Sanders was found conscious but critically wounded, taken to a hospital, and later died of his injuries.

Rainey fled on foot but investigators traced him to a residence and arrested him on January 17, 2019; officers recovered a backpack containing the handgun and the clothing reportedly worn during the incident. Does anyone have information about Sanders life in the Marine Villa neighborhood or witnessed the confrontation at the gas station?
