On January 14, 2017, 29-year-old Phabion Harshaw traveled from Evanston, Illinois, to St. Louis to help a female acquaintance who said she was being abused by her boyfriend. Harshaw went to an apartment on the 1400 block of Pine Street and confronted the boyfriend, 18-year-old Jordan Stuckey, in the hallway. The woman inside heard a single gunshot. Harshaw was critically wounded, taken to a hospital, and died of his injuries on January 17, 2017.

After the shooting, Stuckey fled and was later identified by police as the primary suspect. Warrants charging first-degree murder and armed criminal action were issued; Stuckey was taken into custody in early February 2017. At trial he asserted self-defense, but the jury convicted him of voluntary manslaughter and armed criminal action. The judge imposed consecutive terms totaling 25 years.

Does anyone have information about Harshaw’s trip to St. Louis or about witnesses who might have been in the building that day?
