A bystander was killed during a February 4, 2017 confrontation at an apartment complex in the 3400 block of Goodfellow Boulevard in St. Louis. The disturbance began as a domestic argument between a man and a woman. Donald Marks, 33, was present but not part of that original dispute. When 33-year-old Darren L. Williams entered the altercation he punched the man involved in the domestic incident. The struck man then retrieved a firearm and fired at Williams; the bullet missed Williams and fatally struck Marks.

The shooter stayed at the scene and was initially taken into custody, with prosecutors reviewing whether to seek warrants. Williams fled but was arrested later that week and charged in connection with the homicide. He was held on a $250,000 cash-only bond facing counts that included second-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and two counts of assault.

If anyone knew Donald Marks or witnessed the events at Goodfellow Boulevard that night, please come forward with information.
