Just after midnight on April 13, 2022, gunfire erupted along the riverfront in the 600 block of South Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard in Saint-Louis. The area was crowded with more than one hundred cars when officers responding to the disturbance found 28-year-old Fred Moore, a resident of East St. Louis, fatally shot inside a vehicle. Two other people — a 28-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman — suffered gunshot wounds and survived.

A 31-year-old man, Brandon Howard, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in Moore’s death, along with assault and armed criminal action for the riverfront shooting. City officials closed the riverfront to vehicular traffic in the evenings after the incident. A codefendant, Curtis T. Bailey, later pleaded guilty to unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action and in March 2024 was sentenced to 18 years in prison for his role in the shooting.

Who in the area remembers that chaotic night or has information that could shed light on what happened by the riverfront?
