ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — A man was shot and killed early Sunday morning after two groups of people got into an altercation near the North Hanley Transit Center.
The St. Louis County Police Department said Sunday morning that the shooting happened at around 1 a.m. on the 4300 block of North Hanley Road.
Police identified the victim as Kyron Moore, 20, of Ferguson. He was dropped off at the station with a group of people after a night out. They were confronted in the parking lot by another group they'd had a confrontation with earlier in the night.
One of the people in the other group pulled out a gun and shot the victim, then got into a dark sedan and drove away. Officers responded and found the man lying in the parking lot.
Moore was pronounced dead shortly afterward.
The department's Bureau of Crimes Against Persons is leading a homicide investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call 636-529-8210 to speak to investigators or contact CrimeStoppers at 1-866-371-TIPS(8477).
A MetroLink spokesperson sent the following statement:
“The incident occurred very early this morning on a remote area of our parking lot near the street and did not involve MetroBus, MetroLink or the station platform. As the St. Louis County Police said, it was a disagreement between two groups that tragically ended in the death of one person.
We are providing police investigators any assistance they need so the suspect can be arrested and taken into custody as soon as possible.”
