In January 2014 Darell K. Claiborne and his cousin Corey Brown Jr. were found shot to death inside a vehicle at the intersection of Compton and Mount Pleasant in St. Louis. The two men were discovered together at that street corner; their deaths were treated as a double homicide.

Family members said they knew of no conflicts that would explain the killings and believed the cousins may have been ambushed during a robbery that turned fatal. In the months after the slayings families joined a vigil for victims of violent crime and expressed frustration at receiving no updates. Police noted a lack of cooperation from potential witnesses hampered the investigation.

As of the most recent account, no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the case remains unsolved. If anyone has information about the shootings at Compton and Mount Pleasant in January 2014, please come forward.
