On July 4, 2022, 18-year-old Lamantris Sample was shot while crossing the parking lot of a Mobil at Kingshighway Boulevard and St. Louis Avenue in the Kingsway East neighborhood. The shooting occurred about 3:30 p.m.; a suspect emerged from a car, opened fire, and Sample was struck in the back while running. He was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

Surveillance video captured the attack and detectives recovered a hat the shooter dropped while fleeing. DNA testing on the hat was later matched to 20-year-old Roosevelt Livingston, who was serving a three-year sentence for first-degree robbery at the time charges were filed. Investigators say Livingston identified himself in a photograph taken shortly before the shooting, wearing the same clothing seen on the gunman in the footage. Prosecutors charged him with first-degree murder and armed criminal action and a court ordered he be held without bond.

If anyone remembers the scene at that Mobil on July 4, 2022 or has information about the shooting, please share what you know.
