On the evening of December 12, 2017, a shooting at New Way Market on the 5400 block of Page Boulevard in St. Louis left 25-year-old Mialik R. Donelson dead. The victim, a Black male, was struck by gunfire inside the store at about 6:45 p.m., collapsed on the market floor, and was later taken to a hospital where he died of his injuries. The incident was recorded as St. Louis’s 200th homicide of that year.

Homicide detectives obtained surveillance video from inside the market that captured the shooting and showed a heavyset teenager firing the weapon. Investigators concluded the shooter and Donelson were acquainted, and the footage became central to the investigation. In May 2018 police arrested 17-year-old Tre von Marble (Tre'von Marble) and the Circuit Attorney’s Office charged him with first-degree murder and armed criminal action; a judge ordered him held without bond pending court proceedings.

If anyone knew Mialik Donelson or has information about what happened at New Way Market that night, please come forward.
