On April 22, 2015, Travis Hayden, 28, was found lying in the street in the 8000 block of Busiek Avenue in Berkeley, Missouri, suffering multiple gunshot wounds. Officers located him just before 12:30 p.m.; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Investigators determined the shooting was not random and likely involved people who knew one another.

Authorities identified William Chuckie Clarett as a suspect after a witness provided a written statement the day of the shooting and later identified Clarett from a photo lineup. Clarett was taken into custody on December 31, 2015, and charged by state prosecutors with first-degree murder and armed criminal action.

While detained, Clarett allegedly sought to have the witness killed to prevent testimony. An inmate notified authorities, and an ATF sting used an undercover agent who met with Clarett and received a $500 commissary down payment. Federal prosecutors charged Clarett with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and he was later convicted and sentenced in that federal case. Does anyone have information about Travis Hayden or the events around Busiek Avenue that could help investigators?
