DonVeion Williams, a 24-year-old Black man from the St. Louis area, was shot late one August night in 2011 while driving a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. He was heading westbound on West Florissant at North Kingshighway when someone outside his car opened fire. Multiple shots struck Williams; his Monte Carlo kept moving, rolled into the intersection and collided with two vehicles stopped at the red light. Police were dispatched about 11:00 p.m. After being rushed to an area hospital, Williams died from his wounds.

The shooting created a brief, chaotic scene that at first resembled an ordinary traffic backup before it became clear a violent attack had occurred. Investigators described the shooter or shooters as unknown. CrimeStoppers circulated the homicide as an unsolved investigation and offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest.
