On February 27, 2018, forty-year-old Larry Noel was sitting in his car in a Saint Louis shopping plaza with four children, ages one to ten, when someone opened fire. Noel was killed; a nine-year-old girl inside the vehicle was cut by flying glass. The other children were present and witnessed the shooting.

Investigators identified Alvin N. Green Jr. as the shooter and determined Willie B. Frazier had driven Green to the scene and supplied the firearm. Both men were arrested and prosecuted. In 2019 Green pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, four counts of fourth-degree assault and armed criminal action and received an 18-year sentence after a motion to withdraw the plea was denied. Frazier later accepted a plea agreement and in November 2022 pleaded guilty to armed criminal action, second-degree assault and a misdemeanor assault; his terms included a three-year sentence for armed criminal action and a consecutive seven years for second-degree assault, with a concurrent one-year sentence for the misdemeanor.
