A firearm exchange in an apartment complex parking lot in University City, Missouri, left 39-year-old Ashleigh Selmon dead on Sunday evening, September 15, 2024. Her son was working on his car in the 6400 block of North Drive when two men, identified as 20-year-old Carlione Boyd and 22-year-old Terrell McCann Jr., approached him and one allegedly put a gun to the son’s head. The son disarmed one of the assailants and fired while retreating toward the apartment. One suspect, despite being wounded, returned fire and a bullet passed through the apartment door, striking Selmon. She was pronounced dead at the scene after her son found her on the floor with a gunshot wound.

Both men were arrested and charged with second-degree murder and first-degree attempted robbery; one suspect was reportedly paralyzed during the shootout. Both are being held on $500,000 cash-only bond and the case is moving through the legal system.
