Nineteen-year-old Claudell Lovett was shot and killed in St. Louis, Missouri, on August 18, 2014. Known to family and friends as Lil Man, he had attended St. Louis Public Schools, played little league and high school football, and was remembered for drawing, drumming at church, dancing at reunions, and his close relationship with his mother Muthi Moore and father Claudell Lovett Sr.

Claudell was taken to a local hospital by private vehicle after sustaining gunshot wounds but died that Monday. No public details about a suspect or motive were released immediately after the shooting. His parents, siblings, and extended family survived him and gathered to remember his protective, humorous nature.

If anyone knew Claudell, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help, please come forward.
