On the evening of November 27, 2022, 65-year-old John Whitney was found inside his Hazelcrest Drive apartment in Hazelwood, Missouri, suffering from a gunshot wound. Officers arrived about 7:30 p.m.; Whitney was conscious enough to speak and initially told police he had been shot by an unknown person while walking his dog. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries.

A female witness later told investigators the shooting occurred inside the condominium Whitney shared with his son and identified the shooter as his son, 40-year-old John Darnell Lee. That account matched evidence collected at the scene. Lee was interviewed, admitted to shooting his father, and was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action.

Does anyone have information about John Whitney, his time at Hazelcrest, or what happened that evening?
