On August 2, 2018, 16-year-old Trevon Russell was shot while sitting on a red swing at Mount Pleasant Park in Saint-Louis, Missouri. He was taken to a nearby hospital and died later that day. Trevon had autism and enjoyed studying presidents and sketching their portraits; he had just completed his freshman year and was enrolled at Nottingham Community Access and Job Training School after transferring from Roosevelt High School.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department released convenience-store video and identified a female person of interest, but that lead has not produced arrests and no suspects have been publicly named. Trevon’s father, Jermar Russell, has spoken about the family’s frustration with the investigation and the impact of gun violence on the community.

If anyone was at Mount Pleasant Park or the nearby store on August 2, 2018, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
