On August 24, 2017, a welfare check at a home on the 10400 block of Balmoral Drive in Glasgow Village, St. Louis County, Missouri, turned into a homicide investigation after four people were found shot to death. The victims were 56-year-old Patricia Steward, her 20-year-old son Joseph Corley, her 10-year-old son Terrence Dehart, and 18-year-old Deandre Kelley Jr. The bodies were discovered in different areas of the residence and investigators said the victims had been dead for some time before discovery.

Detectives reported that a young man who had been staying in Steward’s basement after experiencing homelessness had been kicked out following rising tensions. He allegedly returned and shot all four occupants, then stole electronics, designer clothing and shoes and left in one of the victim’s vehicles, removing shell casings as he departed. The suspect was later identified as Ja'Vonne Dupree and was arrested in Columbia, Missouri, in December 2017; items recovered at arrest linked him to the scene, including three pairs of shoes belonging to the victims. Prosecutors used social media posts as part of their case.

In October 2021 the defendant was tried on charges including first-degree murder and robbery; a jury convicted him on four counts of first-degree murder and related charges. Does anyone have information about Deandre Kelley Jr., his activities, or what brought him to Glasgow Village that could help fill in gaps about that day?
