Lamare McGee, a 38-year-old Black man from Hillsdale, Missouri, was shot and killed on the afternoon of October 12, 2024, while sitting in his white SUV in the 3600 block of Hamilton Avenue in the Wells-Goodfellow neighborhood of St. Louis. Police arrived after reports of the shooting around 2:18 p.m.; McGee was found inside the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses saw a man in his 40s flee the SUV after shots were fired. Surveillance from a nearby motel captured images of the person leaving the scene, and investigators used that footage along with witness statements to identify a person of interest. Authorities later named 42-year-old Revon Swinney as the primary suspect and alleged he approached McGee’s vehicle, spoke briefly with him, then produced a firearm and shot him multiple times.

Warrants charging first-degree murder and armed criminal action were issued on November 13, 2024. Swinney was arrested on December 10, 2024, and a grand jury returned an indictment the same day; he is being held without bond awaiting trial. The motive has not been released and the homicide investigation remains active.
