Oscar Johnson III was 14 when he was fatally shot inside a North St. Louis residence near the Fountain Park neighborhood on May 2, 2018. He was found in a hallway with a gunshot wound to the chest and was taken to a hospital, where he later died. Friends and family called him O.J.; he was a student at Yeatman-Liddell Preparatory Middle School, enjoyed basketball, helped a neighbor with groceries and left behind a twin sister among other siblings.

Police say the shooting followed an argument between Oscar and a friend over an iPhone. A witness, his 19-year-old sister, reported hearing the argument and a single gunshot. Authorities took a 13-year-old male friend into custody and turned him over to juvenile authorities; specific juvenile-court details were not released. Oscar’s mother said she did not believe the shooting was accidental and spoke about the toll of youth gun violence on the community.

Does anyone have information about Oscar, the neighborhood that night, or contacts who can speak to his school or community activities?
