Andre Chatman, a 21-year-old Black man from St. Louis, Missouri, was shot dead on the evening of April 1, 2017. The shooting occurred at a beauty salon at 9th Street and St. Louis Avenue in East St. Louis while the business was open. Police were called around 6:11 p.m. after reports of a double shooting. Chatman was found in the salon parking lot and pronounced dead; a second victim, 39-year-old Wilbur Hall Jr. of East St. Louis, was found inside and also died of gunshot wounds to the chest.

East St. Louis Police and the Illinois State Police described the case as a double homicide and initially sought several persons of interest. Less than a week later, on April 7, 2017, the St. Clair County State’s Attorney charged 23-year-old Ike Larry Jr. of East St. Louis with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm; the motive was reported as believed to be robbery and drug-related and bond was set at $1.5 million.
