Terrell Vance, a 46-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on May 9, 2021, in the parking lot of the MotoMart at 3120 Mississippi Avenue in East Saint Louis, Illinois. Officers arriving about 12:25 AM found Vance with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis led the investigation after being called in by the Sauget Police Department.

Investigators identified 42-year-old Charles Shaw as a suspect and charged him with First Degree Murder; his bond was set at $1,000,000. Charges were based on evidence recovered at the scene and witness testimony, and the prosecution and defense have disputed the case in court. The community followed the investigation closely as family and friends mourned Vance’s death.

Are there witnesses or anyone with information about what happened at the MotoMart parking lot that night?
