On June 16, 2014, police were called to a home on the 1200 block of Laire Drive in Bellefontaine Neighbors, St. Louis County, after reports of a shooting. Officers found 19-year-old Antoine Tre-Nell Hall inside the residence with a fatal gunshot wound to the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene and the Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis was asked to lead the homicide investigation.

Detectives canvassed the neighborhood and pursued leads as Hall’s parents had returned home to find their door open and their son already deceased. The investigation took time, and two years later authorities identified a suspect. Nineteen-year-old Huel Lamont Jenkins Jr. was charged with second-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and armed criminal action, and a judge set bond at $250,000 cash only as the case proceeded in St. Louis County court.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Antoine, please come forward to assist the investigation.
