According to reports, at least 10 other people witnessed the shooting with only two victims, one being Huey whose gunshot wound was fatal, and an unidentified 21-year-old who was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

They murdered Baby Huey in Kinloch last night. Not only am I saddened by this huge STL loss and the void that is now with his 13-year-old daughter, but angered at the continued disregard for Kinloch unless some shit like this happens….
