Amber Williams, 32, of Florissant, died after being shot outside Sam’s Southern Eatery on Gravois Avenue in St. Louis on the evening of July 28, 2024. Gunfire just before 8:40 p.m. also wounded three men; first responders transported Williams to a hospital where her injuries proved fatal.

Investigators from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Division, with assistance from the FBI SWAT team and the St. Louis County Police Department’s Tactical Unit, arrested two people on August 13. Court filings allege that 33-year-old Katrina Kelly drove 37-year-old Kyle Penton and another person to the restaurant, and that surveillance footage captured the suspects approaching a car where three victims sat and opening fire; a fourth victim nearby was also struck. Kelly reportedly admitted to driving the men to the scene. Both Kelly and Penton were charged with first-degree murder, three counts of assault, and four counts of armed criminal action and are being held without bond.

Does anyone have information about the shooting, the restaurant, or the people involved that could help investigators?
