A fatal shooting occurred in the early morning hours of May 23, 2023, in Saint Louis, Missouri. Nichalaus Kaznoch, 39, was found in the common hallway of the Toronto Apartments on West Pine Boulevard in the Central West End after residents reported hearing gunshots around 12:20 a.m. A witness who entered the hallway found Kaznoch with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to a local hospital and later died.The witness told officers that the shooter lived in a nearby unit within the same complex.

Surveillance footage from the building captured a man running from the scene soon after the shots, and police identified that person as 23-year-old Kevin Smallwood, who also lived at the Toronto Apartments. Officers located Smallwood in a different unit, took him into custody and recovered a backpack containing a firearm with blood on the barrel and a substance suspected to be heroin.Prosecutors charged Smallwood with first-degree murder and armed criminal action, and the court denied bail as the case moved forward.

Does anyone who lived at the Toronto Apartments that night have information about what they heard or saw?
