On the evening of March 19, 2017, 57-year-old Mac Steven Payne was struck in the head by a stray bullet at the 8th & Clark MetroLink platform just outside Busch Stadium in Saint Louis and later died of his injuries. Payne, a father and grandfather known to his family as Stevie, was on the platform after leaving a westbound MetroLink train when a bullet that originated during an attempted robbery on that train traveled through the car and struck him on the platform.

Security footage from the MetroLink station helped investigators identify persons of interest. Two suspects were taken into custody and charged with murder, armed criminal action, and robbery in connection with the shooting. Payne’s widow, Jeanette, later filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Bi-State Development Agency, which operates MetroLink, alleging inadequate security contributed to the circumstances that led to his death.

Does anyone have additional information about what was visible on the station footage or about the civil case that followed?
