In the early morning hours of July 3, 2022, Damion Baker, 25, was fatally shot during what police described as a carjacking gone wrong in the 800 block of Cerre Street in downtown St. Louis, an area near Busch Stadium. The shooting occurred about 3:14 a.m. Baker and a 21-year-old woman were confronted by an individual attempting to steal their SUV; during a struggle another person opened fire, striking both victims. First responders found Baker with gunshot wounds to his upper body and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman survived gunshot wounds to her legs and feet.

Baker was a former standout football player for Christian Brothers College High School and Holy Cross and played on CBC’s undefeated 2014 state championship team. His mother, An'namarie Baker, has urged the public to come forward with information and established the Debank Foundation to promote construction trade education for underserved youth in her son’s memory. The case remains unsolved and no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone have information about the shooting or recall seeing suspicious activity in the area that night?
