On August 20, 2024, officers from the South County Precinct responded to a residence in the 300 block of Goetz Avenue in the Lemay area after reports of a shooting. First responders found 16-year-old Amorion Fuller suffering from gunshot wounds to the neck; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The St. Louis County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide and determined the wounds were not self-inflicted.

Investigators say the violence grew out of a dispute during a sleepover. Fuller and a 16-year-old friend, identified in court records as Derion Davis, had spent the night at the Goetz Avenue home. The next morning an argument reportedly began over pizza and vape pens. Court documents state Davis obtained two firearms, including one belonging to Fuller, and fired both weapons as Fuller stepped toward him. A third person at the home left to seek help and a neighbor alerted authorities.

Searches of social media accounts recovered queries about disabling an Instagram account and whether federal authorities could apprehend a juvenile. Davis was taken into custody in September 2024 and initially referred to family court. In September 2025 a judge certified Davis to be tried as an adult and charged him with second-degree murder and armed criminal action; the transfer order cited escalating offenses, probation noncompliance, and what the judge described as a complete disregard for human life.

Does anyone have information about the sleepover, the neighborhood, or the individuals who were present that morning?
