Seven-year-old JNylah Douglas was playing with cousins on a playground at the Clinton-Peabody housing complex south of downtown St. Louis on the afternoon of May 22, 2011 when an exchange of gunfire erupted nearby. JNylah, a Black female, was struck in the head by a stray bullet and taken to a local hospital in critical condition. She died of her injuries on June 7, 2011.

Her parents, Jack Douglas and Stephanie Montgomery, and her grandmother were left to mourn, and the shooting prompted stop-the-violence rallies and calls for better safety in housing complexes. St. Louis police investigated the incident and later arrested a male suspect who was charged with murder after investigators said evidence linked him to the shooting that killed JNylah.

If anyone was at Clinton-Peabody that weekend or has information about the shooting, please come forward to help the case.
