On the morning of October 1, 2025, gunfire and a crash in the Dutchtown neighborhood of Saint-Louis ended with the death of 44-year-old Kenneth Edwards. Officers responding around 5:00 a.m. to the area of Bingham Avenue and South 37th Street found Edwards inside a vehicle that had struck a parked pickup truck; he had fatal gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators placed at least two dozen evidence markers at the scene, suggesting a significant exchange of gunfire or a trail of evidence leading to where the car came to rest. Detectives concentrated on reconstructing the shooting timeline, which appears to have happened shortly before the driver lost control of the vehicle.

Police later identified 34-year-old Demarco Moorehead as a person of interest. While investigating his possible connection to the killing, officers found him in illegal possession of two firearms; he was already on probation for a prior felony weapons conviction and was held without bond on two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm.
