16-year-old run over in street after fight at rooftop party, Missouri cops say
A 16-year-old boy was fatally hit by a car after a fight broke out at an “unsanctioned” rooftop party, Missouri police said.
The fight in St. Louis between two groups of people in front of the apartment building stemmed from an argument over whether to let in a group of people believed to be armed, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said in a June 17 news release.
Gunfire was exchanged in the early hours of June 15 as the two groups argued in front of the apartment, police said. Then, a vehicle drove onto the sidewalk as the passenger fired gunshots, officers said.
A 16-year-old boy, identified as Daniel Stahl of Springfield, was fatally struck, police said.
“He was a beloved son, brother, nephew, and friend. He had dreams, a future, and a life that was stolen far too soon,” family wrote in a GoFundMe.
St. Louis police said a 29-year-old woman was also shot and struck by the vehicle. She was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
The 26-year-old driver accused of running over the teen and woman was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death, police said.
The suspect’s identity was not revealed by police.
