A routine shopping trip at a Schnucks on Union Boulevard in St. Louis ended in fatal violence on September 21, 2025, when 20-year-old Henry Armstrong was shot during a dispute with another male in the store’s produce section. Shoppers fled after the gunfire; Armstrong was taken to a nearby hospital and later pronounced dead.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation, released a photograph of a person of interest, and later arrested a 17-year-old male who has been charged with first-degree murder and is being held in juvenile custody. The motive and what prompted the confrontation have not been publicly detailed.

If anyone was at the Schnucks that day or has information about the dispute or the person of interest, please share what you know with investigators.
