How they died
Pursuit
Darnell Brown and Christopher Miles were killed and Angelo Gant was critically injured in a head-on crash during a high-speed police chase. According to police, officers pursued a Chevrolet Impala they'd been looking for after live-streamed video showed the car's occupants with handguns three days earlier. Police said the Impala drove the wrong way on Riverview and struck Gant's oncoming GMC Yukon at about 2 p.m. The SUV burst into flames and Gant escaped with his clothing on fire before police extinguished the flames. Brown and Miles, who were in the Impala, died. Gant, 36, suffered third-degree burns over 65 percent of his body and was in a medically-induced coma at press time. St. Louis County has agreed to pay $400,000 to settle a Miles family lawsuit in March 2021.
