Terrell Peete, 19, of St. Louis, was shot and killed on May 22, 2024, after a planned gun exchange in a parking lot near the St. Charles Convention Center. Authorities say Peete was the driver when his vehicle attempted to leave the meeting; prosecutors allege the other party, including Gabriel Patterson, had just handed over a firearm and that Patterson then fired multiple shots into the departing car. The vehicle crashed into a tree and two other people were wounded.

Police found the crashed car and gunshot victims around 8 p.m.; witnesses pointed officers to a nearby home where Patterson and another person had gone, and surveillance footage captured the shooting. Prosecutors charged Gabriel Patterson and Keonta Hardin, who was a back-seat passenger and was shot in the arm, with second-degree murder in Peete’s death. Patterson faces additional counts including five counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon, and Hardin faces a charge of stealing a firearm.

Are there witnesses or surveillance footage readers recall from that area that could shed more light on what happened that night?
