On the morning of August 19, 2022, law enforcement officers from the St. Louis County Police Department were summoned to a residence in the unincorporated area of west St. Louis County following reports of a violent altercation. The incident occurred in the 10300 block of Tuxford Drive, a residential street where peace was shattered by gunfire in the early hours. At approximately 3:26 a.m., responding units arrived at the scene to discover two individuals suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.
Among the victims was 29-year-old male LiTony M. Price, who had sustained critical injuries during the shooting.
Emergency medical personnel quickly attended to the victims, transporting both men to a local hospital for urgent treatment. Despite the life-saving efforts administered by medical staff, Price succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased shortly after his arrival. The second victim, another adult male whose identity was not immediately released to the public, was treated for his wounds and was expected to survive the encounter. The St. Louis County Police Department’s Bureau of Crimes Against Persons immediately took charge of the investigation, cordoning off the area to gather evidence and interview potential witnesses.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, detectives worked to piece together the events that led to the fatal exchange. Early statements from the St. Louis County Police indicated that investigators were not actively searching for additional suspects at that time, suggesting that the parties involved in the dispute were likely accounted for at the scene. While the investigation remained active to determine the precise motive and circumstances surrounding the death of LiTony Price, no further details regarding specific criminal charges or subsequent trial proceedings were immediately made available in public reports following the incident.
