Seventeen-year-old Kameron Harvey was shot and killed while riding his bicycle along Ashbrook Drive in the Bellefontaine Neighbors area of St. Louis on the afternoon of October 4, 2017. Unknown assailants opened fire, striking him multiple times. Authorities immediately treated retaliation as the likely motive because Harvey had been at the center of a separate, high-profile legal matter.

Harvey had been out on bond and under house arrest awaiting trial on involuntary manslaughter charges tied to a December 2015 incident. When he was 15, a handgun with a laser sight discharged while he was allegedly letting 3-year-old Xavier Zae Robinson chase the laser; the child was struck in the chest and later died. Robinson’s parents faced child endangerment charges for allowing teens access to the gun.

About an hour after the October shooting, police arrested two 17-year-old males; one was a relative of the toddler. Both were later released pending prosecutorial review. Does anyone have information about the events leading up to the October 4 shooting or about witnesses in the Bellefontaine Neighbors area?
