Keith L. Giles, 36, was shot to death inside his East St. Louis home on September 11, 2024. Officers responding that evening to the 700 block of N. 75th Street found Mr. Giles with multiple gunshot wounds; the St. Clair County Coroner, Calvin Dye Sr., pronounced him dead at the scene at 6:42 p.m.

The Illinois State Police assisted the homicide investigation. According to a state police release, a suspect fled in Mr. Giles’ vehicle after the shooting; that vehicle was later located in Missouri. Richmond Heights Police took a 17-year-old juvenile into custody without incident. The suspect’s name has been withheld because of his age, and he was charged with first-degree murder.

As of September 2024, the juvenile remained in the St. Clair County Juvenile Detention Center while the case moved through the legal system. Does anyone have information about who Keith was, or about activity around N. 75th Street on the evening of September 11?
