Napolean Plummer, 18, was fatally shot in Saint‑Louis, Missouri, on September 3, 2014, after a dispute over the purchase of a vehicle. The disagreement reportedly occurred at the home of a 26‑year‑old man; police say Plummer fired a weapon at that residence. As Plummer and a 17‑year‑old friend were leaving, the 26‑year‑old allegedly approached their vehicle and opened fire. A bullet struck Plummer in the back and he was later found inside the car in the 500 block of Courtois, where he was pronounced dead.

Officers took the 26‑year‑old into custody at the scene and recovered both firearms said to have been involved; initial reports did not publish the suspect’s name. The case centers on how an argument about a routine transaction escalated into deadly violence that ended a young life.
