Ajante Kamar Johnson was 16 when his life ended in May 2017. A St. Louis resident born in Sikeston, Missouri, he was the son of Rodney Johnson and the late Audrey Kay Cross and had been a student at Vashon High School and Gateway STEAM High School. Ajante took part in football, track and field, soccer, robotics and ROTC and had talked about a future in the Air Force.

Ajante and 19-year-old Rayshaun Foster went missing and their remains were found on the morning of May 26, 2017, in an overgrown vacant lot in the 4300 block of Enright Avenue. Both had died of gunshot wounds; reports indicate Ajante’s date of death as May 19, 2017, a week before the bodies were discovered. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation, and no arrests were identified in public reports from that time.

Did anyone in the St. Louis area know Ajante, Rayshaun, or have information about the vacant lot on Enright Avenue?
