On the night of June 6, 2022, 21-year-old Nicholas Keith was found unresponsive on the porch of a residence in the 4200 block of Pleasant Street in the Fairground neighborhood of St. Louis. Police responded around 11:50 p.m. after reports of a shooting; Keith had suffered fatal gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

For nearly three years few public details were released about a suspect. In April 2025 a federal grand jury indicted Travis Santel Jones as the alleged shooter, charging him with murder in aid of racketeering, RICO conspiracy, and causing death with a firearm. Prosecutors say the killing was tied to internal gang discipline—alleging both Keith and Jones were affiliated with the Cochran Crips and that the shooting was retaliation for perceived disrespect toward another member.

Does anyone from the Fairground or Pleasant Street area remember unusual activity or can share information about that night?
