On December 15, 2024, 22-year-old Kyle Daniel Fitzgerald of House Springs was shot and killed in the Kingsway East neighborhood of St. Louis. Officers responding shortly after midnight to reports of gunfire in the 4900 block of St. Louis Avenue found him with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators say the incident began near a convenience store and gas station at Kingshighway Boulevard and St. Louis Avenue. Witnesses and security video show a confrontation that may have started as a robbery or an argument. The other man walked toward an abandoned property across the street, Fitzgerald chased him, and the man then turned and fired. Security cameras captured muzzle flashes and the shooting.

Police identified the alleged gunman as 31-year-old Deandre M. Johnson after he was seen on video inside the gas station with a firearm and later matched to still images. He was arrested and charged in connection with the killing. Fitzgerald’s friends and family knew him as K-Money; further details about the case remain under investigation.

If anyone witnessed the incident or has information about that night, please come forward.
