Jermaine McDaniels, a 27-year-old African-American man, was fatally shot in St. Louis on October 5, 2009. The drive-by shooting occurred in the 6300 block of Stratford Avenue, near Goodfellow Boulevard in the city’s North City neighborhood. McDaniels was seated inside a vehicle when unknown assailants fired multiple rounds into the car; he sustained fatal wounds and the attackers fled before police arrived.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Division investigated but encountered major obstacles because witnesses did not cooperate. Investigators were unable to identify or publicly name suspects, no arrests were announced, and the case went cold. If anyone knew McDaniels, saw activity in the Stratford Avenue area that day, or has information that could help, please contact investigators.
