On the morning of November 3, 2022, officers in St. Louis found 42-year-old Andre Jermaine Nash dead in the street near Barrett Brothers Park in the Wells-Goodfellow neighborhood. He had sustained fatal gunshot wounds to the chest and face, and the scene suggested the body had been discarded there rather than the park being the site of the shooting.

Detectives later determined the killing took place the previous day, November 2, 2022, inside a vacant home on the 4100 block of Clara Place. The violence was linked to a narcotics dispute: Nash had paid an acquaintance, Terrell Donta McDaniel, $500 for ten grams of fentanyl and then went to the vacant house to recover the missing product or the debt. McDaniel shot Nash twice in the chest and once in the face. Nash’s body was wrapped in tarps and plastic, placed in the trunk of a stolen vehicle, and dumped near the park that night.

McDaniel was identified as the primary suspect and was later detained; during subsequent proceedings he admitted to the killing and disposal of the body. Did anyone in the neighborhood or who knew Nash recognize the vacant Clara Place house or see him there on November 2, 2022?
