On the night of July 7, 2024, gunfire rang out on a sister’s porch near Thekla Avenue and Kingshighway in the Mark Twain neighborhood of St. Louis. Gustova Henton, 47, was struck in the abdomen; his sister, who was inside the home, heard the shots and screaming, then drove him to a nearby hospital rather than waiting for emergency responders. Henton underwent emergency surgery and remained hospitalized in critical condition for several weeks.

Henton lived in unincorporated St. Louis County in the 11000 block of Jerries Lane before the shooting. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Division opened an investigation and canvassed the area for information about what happened on the porch.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything that night that could help investigators?
