Collin Courtwright, a 15-year-old White male, died on February 5, 2024, after gunfire during a planned drug transaction in south St. Louis County, Missouri. The meeting took place in the parking lot of the Black Forest Apartments on Chalet Hill Drive. Courtwright and two friends had arranged via Snapchat to buy marijuana cartridges from a group in a vehicle. According to a police probable cause statement, Courtwright entered the vehicle, produced a firearm, pointed it at one occupant and announced a robbery. Investigators allege another man in the car drew a weapon and fired; Courtwright was pronounced dead at the scene and a 16-year-old companion, Tyree Williams, later died at a hospital. A third teen, Bryce Mers, was wounded but survived, and family and friends later held a vigil at the scene.

Four men were arrested in the weeks after the shooting and charged in connection with the deaths; the cases were later resolved through plea agreements and one of the defendants was awaiting sentencing. Does anyone have information about Collin or that parking lot on February 5?
