On the afternoon of August 29, 2014, 41-year-old Darnell Martin was shot while he and two friends were fixing a flat tire in the 4400 block of Ferdinand Avenue in St. Louis. A dark-colored Lincoln LS drove past and occupants opened fire in a drive-by ambush. Martin suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his flank, abdomen, back, and chin, was taken to a hospital, and died of his injuries.

One companion received a graze wound to the chest and was treated at the scene; the other was uninjured. Investigators identified a suspect and in October 2014 charged 22-year-old Travon Johnson with first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and two counts of armed criminal action in connection with the killing. Johnson was later tried for multiple shootings from that period; he was convicted and sentenced for a September attack on other victims but was found not guilty by a jury on the charges tied to Darnell Martin’s death.

Does anyone have information about Martin, the scene that day, or witnesses who saw the Lincoln LS?
