On September 9, 2016, 71-year-old Steven White was shot and killed in the driveway of a home in Jennings, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, during an attempted carjacking. Two teenagers approached him intending to steal his vehicle. When he refused to hand over his keys, Melford Newlon, then 17, fired one shot that struck Mr. White in the head. The assailants rifled his pockets, took his cellphone, and fled in his van.

Police located the stolen van within hours. Officers attempted to stop it and say the driver, alleged to be Newlon, accelerated in reverse toward them; both suspects were taken into custody. Reports say one of the teenagers later boasted about taking part in the killing.

Both suspects were charged in connection with the case. If anyone knew Steven White or has information about the events that night, please share what you know.
