How they died
Vehic/Purs
Erick C. Russell was killed when his car was struck by one fleeing from police. Markel L. Davis, 19, was driving an allegedly stolen car that police in Brentwood and Charlack had attempted to pull over. A police helicopter tracked the other to St. Louis City and witnessed Davis pull over to let one or two occupants out of the car just minutes before the crash. Davis reportedly sped through the intersection of N. Grand Boulevard and Cass Avenue, broadsiding Russell's other. Russell died at the scene at around 12:41 a.m. In 2011, Davis pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the crash and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
