On March 30, 2016, Kevin M. McAfee Jr., a 26-year-old African American male, was fatally shot in St. Louis, Missouri. The incident occurred during the day, and first responders found him suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. He was transported to a local hospital where he was subsequently pronounced dead.
McAfee was a resident of East St. Louis, Illinois, across the river from where the shooting took place.
Following his death, services were entrusted to Officer Funeral Home in East St. Louis, a detail that was noted in local memorial listings. Family and friends later commemorated his life, with online tributes appearing years after the event, marking the anniversary of his passing and expressing the enduring grief of his loss.
As of the available public records and news reports concerning this specific case, no suspects have been named and no arrests have been reported in connection with his murder. While other individuals with the surname McAfee have appeared in St. Louis area crime news around the same timeframe—including a former police officer charged with misconduct and a different man convicted of an unrelated domestic homicide—those cases are distinct and unconnected to the shooting death of Kevin M. McAfee Jr. His case appears to remain among the unsolved homicides from that year in the St. Louis metropolitan area.
