L. Douglas Abram was 47 when he was killed during an FBI SWAT entry in St. Louis County on January 19, 1990. Abram, a U.S. Air Force veteran who had served with the FBI for 14 years, was part of a team executing a high-risk federal warrant at a Theiss Road residence for illegal weapons and drugs. Agents made entry around 7:00 p.m. and were met with gunfire from an occupant identified as James Price.

Abram was struck by a .38 caliber round to the head and died at 9:00 p.m. after being taken to St. Anthony’s Medical Center. Two other agents were wounded but survived. Price was shot and killed during the exchange, and with him dead there were no subsequent arrests; investigators concluded Price fired the fatal shot. Abram is listed on the FBI Wall of Honor and the Missouri Law Enforcement Memorial.

If anyone knew Agent Abram or was in the area that night and can add details about the incident or the household on Theiss Road, please share what is known.
