On July 6, 2025, 24-year-old Dreven Dre Rawson was shot and killed in the breezeway of an apartment building on Hilltop Place Drive in Farmington, Missouri, after knocking on the wrong door while visiting a friend. A witness who had dropped Rawson off reported hearing gunfire shortly after Rawson exited the car; another resident heard someone banging on a door and screaming for help. Officers found Rawson unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds; an autopsy showed at least five shots, including wounds to his back and head.

Police quickly identified 27-year-old Nathan S. Larson as the suspect. Larson told officers he believed Rawson posed a threat and was trying to break into his apartment where his wife and child were inside. Investigators reported evidence indicating Rawson may have been attempting to flee when the fatal shots were fired. Larson was initially charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action; a grand jury later indicted him on first-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon. He is being held in the St. Francois County Jail on $500,000 bond.

The community and Rawson’s family are grieving the loss of a young man described as passionate about basketball. Does anyone have information about Rawson’s movements that morning or witnesses who heard the shots?
