On the evening of Sunday, November 5, 2017, a robbery at a residence on the 9700 block of Vickie Place in St. Louis County, Missouri, ended with the death of 35-year-old Michael Guest II. Emergency crews arrived after reports of a shooting around 8:40 p.m.; Guest was found with a gunshot wound, taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Investigators determined the intrusion was motivated by theft of a large quantity of marijuana. Two men allegedly went to the house to rob Guest; one of them opened fire and both fled with a gallon-sized bag of cannabis. Police later identified 34-year-old Ratio Warren as the alleged shooter and 18-year-old Devin Rhone as his accomplice. Both were taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder, first-degree robbery and armed criminal action; Rhone was also charged with unlawful possession of a firearm. Both were held on $500,000 cash-only bonds.

Anyone with information about the November 5 incident or the people involved is asked to come forward.
