On July 14, 2018, 35-year-old Kenneth Pointer was shot and killed while riding a MetroBus in Saint-Louis, Missouri. A verbal argument with another passenger escalated when the other man produced a firearm and shot Pointer multiple times aboard the bus. Pointer exited the vehicle in an attempt to flee but was followed and shot again, suffering fatal wounds.

Police used surveillance footage from the bus to identify a suspect and arrested 36-year-old Talib M. Ziyad, who was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in Pointer’s death. While in custody Ziyad reportedly confessed to a separate homicide that occurred earlier that month.

If anyone witnessed the shooting on the bus or remembers seeing Kenneth Pointer that evening, please share what you know.
