In the early evening of July 24, 2020, Darryl Richardson, a 66-year-old male, was fatally shot while sitting in his car in Saint Louis, Missouri. The incident occurred around 7:20 p.m. in the 2500 block of North Grand Boulevard, where he was discovered and pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators believe the motive for the killing was an attempted carjacking.
Darryl Richardson was a veteran of the United States Navy and had a career as a telecommunications engineer.
His death was a profound loss to his family and community, who remember him as a dedicated father who deeply valued education. He was the only child of his parents, Harry Nall and Juanita Davis. He was married to his wife, Sharon, with whom he had one son.
Months after the shooting, the case remains an active investigation, and authorities have not yet publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests. Law enforcement officials have indicated that they have some suspects in mind and have appealed to the public for assistance, believing there were witnesses to the daylight shooting. Organizations such as the Saint Louis Regional CrimeStoppers have been involved in soliciting information from the community to help bring those responsible for Darryl Richardson's death to justice. The lack of significant developments in the case has been a source of ongoing frustration for his family and the wider community as they continue to await a resolution.
