Erin Davis, 31, was found dead the afternoon of December 16, 2014, inside an apartment in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood of St. Louis. Officers located her in the 300 block of Walsh Street with fatal gunshot wounds to the head and neck; she was pronounced dead at the scene and a homicide investigation was opened.

Investigators determined Davis was targeted in a retaliatory plot tied to the local drug trade. Detectives say known drug dealer Dwane Taylor recruited an associate, Joe Moreland Edger, after Taylor was robbed of narcotics and cash. Edger allegedly helped identify and locate targets, provided transportation, and supplied the 9mm firearm used to kill Davis.

Federal authorities later charged those involved as part of a broader inquiry into the plotted killings. If anyone knew Erin, her movements in December 2014, or saw suspicious activity near Walsh Street that day, please come forward with information.
