In the early morning hours of November 19, 2019, Trey Montezz Neal, a 31-year-old male, was fatally shot in St. Louis, Missouri. The incident occurred around 7:15 a.m. at the intersection of Dr. Martin Luther King Drive and Arlington Avenue. When police officers arrived at the scene, they discovered Neal suffering from gunshot wounds. He was immediately transported to a local hospital, but tragically, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
Investigators working on the case
soon began to suspect that the shooting was not a random act of violence. Evidence gathered at the scene led them to believe that Neal may have been specifically targeted by his assailant. In an effort to generate leads and identify the person responsible, the St. Louis police department released surveillance footage that captured a possible suspect in the vicinity around the time of the shooting. The video showed an individual who appeared to be waiting for Neal before the fatal encounter.
The surveillance footage provided a glimpse of the suspect, showing the person stopping in front of a school bus, seemingly in anticipation of Neal's arrival. The video later depicts the same individual lingering at a corner before running from the area after the shooting. Authorities urged the public to pay close attention to the individual's appearance, including a noticeable logo on their shirt, in the hopes that someone might recognize them and come forward with information.
Despite the release of the surveillance video and the belief that Trey Montezz Neal was the intended victim, there have been no subsequent announcements regarding any arrests made in connection with his murder. The case remains a painful and unresolved chapter for his family and community. The investigation into his death continues, with law enforcement still seeking information that could lead to the apprehension and prosecution of the individual responsible for his death.
