Stephen D’Angelo Combs, 27, was fatally shot on November 5, 2017, outside the R&R Mini Mart on Airport Road in Ferguson, Missouri. He was found at the scene with gunshot wounds and later died at a hospital; the shooting occurred days before what would have been his 28th birthday.

Investigators released surveillance images from the convenience store and sought a woman seen there prior to the shooting, distributing flyers in hopes of leads. CrimeStoppers offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest. Reports say DNA from a hat recovered at the scene played a key role in identifying a suspect, which led to an arrest in connection with the homicide.

Family and friends held a candlelight vigil in the R&R Mini Mart parking lot. Loved ones described Combs, known as 2 Steph, as laid back with a pure heart, a Vatterott College graduate and a family-oriented man who left behind three brothers and a sister. If anyone knew Stephen or has information about the case, please share what is known.
