Police seek suspects in shooting of 70-year-old veteran, teen

Police on Wednesday shared surveillance photos that show two people entering a convenience store and later firing guns outside.

ST. LOUIS — St. Louis police released photos Wednesday of two people suspected in a shooting that injured a 70-year-old Vietnam War veteran and a teenager last week.

"I am in a lot of pain. I can barely get around. They need to stop the gun violence in St. Louis," Charles Phillips told 5 On Your Side Tuesday. 

The 70-year-old said he was sitting in his car and waiting on a friend after 3 p.m. Nov. 15 near the 3000 block of Dr. Martin Luther King Drive when gunfire rang out and people began running.

"I was ducking down in my car. Ducking and praying that I don't die or I don't get hit," Phillips said.

A bullet went through his driver's side door and struck him in the leg. A 17-year-old boy was also found shot by responding officers and taken to the hospital.

Police on Wednesday shared surveillance photos that show two people entering a convenience store and later firing guns outside. 

The pair are considered armed and dangerous. Anyone who recognizes the suspects is asked to contact the police department's Central Patrol Division at 314-444-2500. To remain anonymous or possibly receive a reward, call CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS (8477).
