Dale Russell, 23, was found dead inside a residence on Willott Square Drive in St. Peters, Missouri, on June 7, 2017. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds; investigators reported he was shot 14 times. Authorities described the shooting as the culmination of a physical altercation during which an acquaintance, 18-year-old Jackson Pierce, gained control of a firearm and shot Russell repeatedly.

After the shooting, Pierce and a juvenile present at the scene reportedly attempted to conceal the crime by cleaning the area, wrapping Russell’s body in an air mattress, and placing a garbage bag over his head. The St. Charles County SWAT team discovered the body during a search of the home. Pierce was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and tampering with physical evidence; he was held on a $1 million cash-only bond. The juvenile was taken into custody and their case transferred to St. Charles County Family Court.

Does anyone have information about Russell’s final hours or about acquaintances who might help clarify what led to the confrontation?
