Cameron Wilson was 26 when he was fatally shot in St. Louis on Father’s Day, June 18, 2017. A well-known citizen journalist and father of four, Wilson had been documenting a separate shooting in north St. Louis and was driving home when his vehicle crashed.

Emergency services pronounced Wilson dead at the scene; a 30-year-old man involved in the altercation was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Police had not announced any arrests immediately after the shooting and the investigation was described as ongoing. Family members remembered Wilson as a dedicated citizen journalist who wanted to show people what was happening in the city and noted he was always present at important events. He leaves four children, ages ten months to eleven years old, and his family appealed for an end to violence in the community.
