On the night of November 6, 2018, officers responded to a report of a person down in North St. Louis County and found 21-year-old Donald Lang in the parking lot of the Valvoline Instant Oil Change at 1500 block of Chambers Road in Dellwood. Lang had sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis and the North County Police Cooperative assisted in the investigation, which quickly identified a suspect. Police tracked the individual to the Nantucket Garden Apartments in Florissant and arrested 17-year-old Tarron Gill during a raid. Officers recovered two AR-15 style rifles, a handgun, a bullet-resistant vest, and quantities of suspected heroin and fentanyl at the apartment.

Gill was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in connection with Lang’s death; prosecutors allege Gill was responsible for the shooting. Authorities did not initially say whether the weapons seized were the ones used in the homicide. Does anyone have information about Donald Lang, his routines that night, or witnesses who saw activity near the Chambers Road parking lot on November 6, 2018?
