Casty St. Louis was 20 when he was shot and killed on September 12, 2014, near his girlfriend’s apartment in Raleigh, North Carolina. The shooting happened just before 7 p.m. at the River Birch apartment complex playground, where residents and children witnessed the attack. St. Louis had been released from the Wake County Detention Center less than two hours earlier after serving three weeks on drug-related convictions; he had gone to River Birch to take a shower and get ready to visit his mother and grandmother.

Eyewitnesses said the shooter was a male in a car accompanied by another young man and a young woman driving. Despite attempts to resuscitate him, St. Louis was pronounced dead at the scene. Two men were later charged in connection with the incident: 19-year-old Darius Lamont Watkins was arrested on September 14, 2014, and charged with murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon; 22-year-old Adrian Lamar Oden was charged with robbing St. Louis of $800 worth of cash and marijuana. St. Louis had been a standout running back for Word of God Christian Academy and Wake Forest-Rolesville High School and had hoped to play college football.

Does anyone who knew Casty, or who was at River Birch that evening, have information that could help clarify what happened?
