Shortly after midnight on November 11, 2019, police in Moline Acres responded to the 9800 block of Portage Drive after a car had struck a parked vehicle. Inside the crashed car officers found 40-year-old Gregory Pickett of Glen Owen Drive. Pickett had sustained at least one gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators from the St. Louis County Police Department, with assistance from the Moline Acres and Bellefontaine Neighbors police departments, concluded Pickett was shot while inside his vehicle and that the shooting led to the crash. The initial probe did not produce suspect identifications, and investigators appealed to the public and CrimeStoppers for information.

No arrests or suspect identifications have been announced in connection with Pickett’s death. If anyone has information about what happened that night, contact investigators or CrimeStoppers.
