On August 18, 2018, 17-year-old Armond Latimore was shot and killed outside Bing Lau chop suey at about 1:00 p.m. in the 3100 block of North Grand Boulevard near Sullivan Avenue in St. Louis. He had posted on social media roughly an hour earlier celebrating his seventeenth birthday. Bystanders tried to help after he was struck in the head; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Detectives identified a maroon 2009 Pontiac G8 as a vehicle of interest; the sedan had been reported stolen in a carjacking earlier that month and was found days later burned near Spanish Lake Park in St. Louis County. No arrests had been announced and the case remained open. Latimore’s mother, Chandra Payne, said he did odd jobs like cutting grass and selling water and denied he owned a gun or that the money shown in social-media photos belonged to him.

If anyone saw activity near North Grand Boulevard around noon on August 18, 2018, or has information about the maroon Pontiac G8, please share what is known with investigators or CrimeStoppers.
