Amarnath Ghosh was 34 and a Master of Fine Arts student at Washington University in St. Louis, known for his Kuchipudi and Bharatanatyam dancing. On the evening of February 27, 2024, he went for a jog in the Academy neighborhood near the Central West End and was running along Delmar Boulevard near Delmar and Clarendon when a vehicle stopped by him and gunfire struck him multiple times. He was found fatally wounded on the sidewalk and later died at the scene.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and in March 2024 identified 46-year-old Glenn Bailey after surveillance linked his vehicle to the scene. Court documents say Bailey admitted being present and to selling drugs in the area, and he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. Reports indicate a second person may have been involved but that individual has not been publicly identified or charged with the same prominence in early reports.

If anyone was in the Academy or Central West End area that evening or can help clarify the movements of the vehicle seen on surveillance, please share what is known.
