In the summer of 2019, the life of 26-year-old Norobert Cashaw was tragically cut short in the Penrose neighborhood of north St. Louis. On July 20th, he was discovered deceased in an alley located on the 4800 block of Kossuth. The cause of his death was determined to be multiple gunshot wounds. The initial investigation into the shooting did not immediately yield a suspect or a motive, leaving a cloud of uncertainty over the violent incident.
For over a year, the case remained under
investigation as authorities worked to piece together the events that led to Cashaw's untimely death. The community was left seeking answers and justice for the young man whose life had been taken. The silence in the case was finally broken in the fall of the following year, bringing a significant development that offered a glimmer of hope for resolution to his family and friends.
In October 2020, an arrest was made in connection with the murder of Norobert Cashaw. Lonti Carter, who was 26 years old at the time, was taken into custody and subsequently charged for his alleged involvement in the crime. The charges brought against Carter were severe, including first-degree murder and armed criminal action. Law enforcement officials did not release any further details regarding a potential motive for the shooting.
