Michelle Sobel, 63, was fatally shot on the morning of Sunday, October 23, 2022, in the 6600 block of Michigan Avenue in the Carondelet neighborhood of St. Louis. A 44-year-old woman was also injured; both were taken to a hospital where Sobel was pronounced dead. Authorities said the shooting began after an argument over a pink hoverboard. Surveillance video allegedly showed a 29-year-old man, later identified as Michael Winston, riding the hoverboard into the Michigan Market while the passenger in the SUV Sobel was driving reportedly took the device.

Investigators said Winston opened fire on the fleeing SUV, striking Sobel. Detectives described the suspect as about 5 feet 8 inches tall and 150 pounds and asked the public for help identifying him. Sobel’s daughter wrote that her mother had recently moved to St. Louis to be closer to family and was kind, caring, and forgiving.
