On the night of August 26, 2017, 27-year-old Darius Rackley of Decatur, Georgia, was shot and killed while riding in a vehicle with his father and brother in the 6000 block of North Broadway in St. Louis. The family had just left a gas station when two other vehicles followed them and occupants opened fire at about 9:50 p.m. Rackley suffered a fatal gunshot wound; his father and brother sustained minor injuries. All three were taken to a hospital where Rackley was pronounced dead.

Police later released security footage identifying nine persons of interest and two vehicles tied to the shooting and said there was no evidence the victims had provoked the attack, suggesting they were preyed upon. Three people were arrested and charged in connection with the killing: 17-year-old Anthony Claxton, 19-year-old D'Marco Reynolds, and 22-year-old Damonta McClendon. During Claxton’s July 2019 trial, a judge issued a directed verdict of acquittal, finding the prosecution had not presented sufficient evidence to convict him; trials for Reynolds and McClendon were set for later in 2019.

Does anyone have information about the vehicles or the people seen on the security footage that could help tie the case together?
