In the early morning hours of September 13, 2018, the quiet of a north St. Louis County neighborhood was shattered by violence. Isaac Patterson, a 69-year-old male, was fatally shot inside his residence in the 4300 block of Edgewood Boulevard in the Goodfellow Terrace neighborhood. The tragic event unfolded shortly before 1 a.m. when a masked individual forcibly entered his home by kicking in the front door.
At the time of the home invasion, Patterson was on the stairway inside his
house. The intruder, without hesitation, opened fire, striking and killing him. There were two other individuals present in the home at the time of the shooting, who witnessed the harrowing event.
Following the fatal shooting, the masked gunman quickly fled the scene. Law enforcement from the North County Police Cooperative responded to the incident and launched an investigation into the homicide. In the immediate aftermath, the suspect remained at large, and authorities had not publicly identified any person or persons of interest in connection with the murder. The investigation was reported to be ongoing.
