On the night of August 19, 2025, gunfire broke out near North Broadway and Pope Avenue in the North Riverfront neighborhood of St. Louis. Trevon Bledsoe, 31, of Dellwood, Missouri, was shot and later pronounced dead at a local hospital; a 29-year-old woman was also wounded and taken to the hospital in stable condition. Bledsoe’s vehicle at the scene was described as riddled with bullet holes.

Those gathered in the area were reportedly remembering a companion who had been shot and killed earlier that same day near West Florissant and Thrush; that earlier victim had been fired upon while sitting in a car that later crashed in a cemetery. Authorities have said it is unclear whether the two shootings are connected.

St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department homicide detectives are leading the investigation. No suspects or motive have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Anyone with information is asked to contact police or CrimeStoppers with tips.

Does anyone who was in the North Riverfront area that night or who knew Trevon have information that could help the investigation?
