On a November evening in 2024, 35-year-old Antonio Watson of Maplewood, Missouri, was fatally shot in the Princeton Heights neighborhood of St. Louis. Officers responded just before 8:45 p.m. to the 4900 block of Bonita Avenue and found Watson lying in the street with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

An argument followed and Watson allegedly threatened the vehicle’s occupants. As the car approached the block where Paige’s girlfriend lived, Paige exited the vehicle; shortly afterward the other occupants heard gunfire and saw muzzle flashes. Authorities have said Watson was unarmed when he was shot.

Torey Paige was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action and held without bond. Watson’s family expressed profound grief and disagreement with the outcome that followed. Did anyone in the Princeton Heights area see or hear anything that night that could help clarify what happened?
