ST. LOUIS, MO — A 16-year-old boy was fatally shot Monday evening in St. Louis, and two individuals are now in custody in connection with the incident, according to police.
Just after 7 p.m. on October 6, 2025, officers from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s Fourth District responded to multiple reports of gunfire near Laclede Avenue and North Vandeventer Avenue.
The call was soon upgraded to a shooting in a parking lot located in the 3800 block of Laclede.
Upon arrival, officers discovered the victim, identified as 16-year-old Darrell Price, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Despite lifesaving efforts, Price was pronounced deceased at the scene. His family has since been notified.
Shortly afterward, police were informed that a 20-year-old male had arrived at a local hospital with gunshot injuries. His wounds were described as non-life-threatening.
Homicide detectives responded and began a comprehensive investigation.
Preliminary findings suggest that the victims and suspects were acquainted and had arranged to meet at the location.
Early evidence indicates that marijuana and a potential robbery or attempted robbery may have been factors in the shooting.
The 20-year-old male who was hospitalized has since been taken into custody in connection with the case.
Additionally, an 18-year-old male suspect voluntarily surrendered to police and was also detained.
