A late-night gathering in Midtown, St. Louis ended in deadly violence on May 18, 2024, when gunfire erupted just before midnight in the 3000 block of Olive Street. Police say occupants of one vehicle fired into another, striking 19-year-old Eddie Randall Jr. and another 19-year-old man. Eddie was pronounced dead at the hospital; the other man was seriously injured but listed in stable condition.

The suspects’ vehicle reportedly crashed into an uninvolved car after the shooting, injuring that driver, and the shooters fled on foot. Two women were also hurt: an 18-year-old who sustained a graze wound and declined treatment at the scene, and another woman who was privately taken to a hospital and left before speaking with investigators. The St. Louis Police Homicide Division is handling the investigation.

If anyone was at the gathering on Olive Street that night or has information about the vehicles or people involved, please contact investigators with any tips.
