On May 31, 2020, officers from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department responded to a call regarding a shooting in the 2700 block of North 10th Street in St. Louis, Missouri. Upon arriving at the scene, investigators discovered two men deceased inside a vehicle. The victims were identified as 25-year-old male Willie Johnson, a resident of St. Louis, and 23-year-old Tyler Schemkes from O'Fallon.
Both individuals had sustained fatal gunshot wounds.
The incident occurred during a particularly violent weekend in the city, which saw multiple other shootings and injuries. Homicide detectives took over the investigation, examining the scene for evidence and attempting to piece together the events leading up to the double homicide. Despite the immediate launch of an inquiry, details regarding the circumstances of the shooting remained scarce in the aftermath.
As of early 2023, authorities reported that the case remained unsolved. Police continued to seek leads and information from the public to help identify the person or persons responsible for the deaths of Johnson and Schemkes. No arrests have been made in connection with the case, and investigators have urged anyone with information to contact the Homicide Division or submit anonymous tips through CrimeStoppers.
