On July 28, 2017, in the parking lot of the Arbor Village apartment complex in Ferguson, Missouri, 22-year-old Donnell DJ Drake Jr. was fatally shot. Drake was visiting his mother’s residence around 10:08 p.m. when a vehicle pulled into the complex and four to five individuals wearing surgical masks and gloves exited. Witnesses say Drake called police and warned an elderly neighbor before a suspect approached him and opened fire. He and another victim were found semi-conscious and taken to a hospital; Drake died shortly after arrival and the other victim survived.

The assailants’ use of masks and gloves, and the number of people involved, has made identification difficult. Drake’s mother, Robin, publicly appealed for information, and a reward of $50,000 was later offered for information leading to an arrest. No suspects have been formally charged or convicted, and the investigation remains open.

Did anyone in the area in July 2017 see the vehicle or the masked suspects that night?
