On the evening of December 6, 2025, a shooting in the Baden neighborhood of Saint Louis left 49-year-old Marlow Williams dead. Officers were called to a residence on the 600 block of Fremont Street about 5:15 p.m. After reports of a shooting, first responders found Williams unconscious and barely breathing with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

Detectives determined Williams had arrived at the home and was voluntarily let inside, indicating he was known to the occupants. A verbal argument inside the residence escalated and a firearm was discharged, striking Williams. In the days after the shooting, police arrested 45-year-old Louis Felton in connection with the incident. The Circuit Attorney’s Office filed charges including first-degree murder and armed criminal action.
