Two men were killed in a shooting in the Penrose neighborhood of north St. Louis on a Saturday night, May 19, 2018. Sylvester Caston, 61, and Ira Johnson, 55, were both shot and pronounced dead at the scene around 10:30 p.m. A car was stolen during the incident; the vehicle’s owner, a 44-year-old woman, was present and not physically injured.

St. Louis police identified Caston and Johnson the following Monday and said they had a 36-year-old person of interest, whose identity was not disclosed. It was not clear whether an arrest had been made. The investigation into what happened that night remained ongoing.

If anyone in Penrose that evening saw activity or has information about the stolen vehicle or the shooting, please share what is known.
