Kevin Brown, 20, of St. Louis, was killed after a fight at a Save-A-Lot in the Riverview neighborhood on the night of December 19, 2016. The confrontation began inside the grocery store and spilled into the parking lot, where Brown was shot multiple times. He tried to flee as people scattered but collapsed and died outside the store before he could escape.

Investigators focused on Lamarkis Cowan as the alleged shooter. Cowan turned himself in and was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action, held on a $1 million cash-only bond. The case moved through court proceedings and ultimately resolved when Cowan pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in exchange for a 14-year prison sentence; his attorney said Cowan would have argued self-defense at trial.

Anyone who was at the Save-A-Lot that night or who has information about the fight and shooting is asked to come forward.
