Just after midnight on April 17, 2022, a verbal argument between two passengers on an eastbound MetroLink train in St. Louis escalated into a fatal shooting. The victim was Manu Barge, a 31-year-old man from Olivette. The shooting occurred near the Forest Park–DeBaliviere station; Barge was struck in the head and pronounced dead at the scene.

Surveillance video from the train captured the shooting. Witnesses reported that after the argument, as one passenger was exiting the train, he pulled out a pistol and shot Barge before fleeing. The firearm has not been recovered. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department received the surveillance footage and other evidence to aid the investigation.

Does anyone have information about that train ride or the events leading up to the argument?
