A Black male from Moline Acres, Missouri, Scott was in an apartment in the city's Midtown neighborhood, in the 300 block of South Grand Boulevard near Saint Louis University, when he was shot multiple times. When officers from the St.
Louis Metropolitan Police Department arrived at the scene, they found Scott with fatal injuries, and he was pronounced dead right there in the apartment.
