Mother seeks accountability after teen fatally shot by St. Louis officer

Mother seeks accountability after teen fatally shot by St. Louis officer

A St. Louis mother is demanding accountability after her 17-year-old son, Emeshyon Wilkins, was fatally shot in the back by a police officer during a June 2024 stop; body-camera video released this week contradicts authorities' initial claim that the teen pointed a gun, showing him running away. A disassembled gun found in his pocket raised questions, and the officer declined to answer most questions during a deposition as investigators reassess the case. The department acknowledged earlier information was inconsistent and updated its information-sharing protocols, while the Circuit Attorney’s Office reviews possible charges; the family had to sue to obtain the video.

Body cam video spurs policy scrutiny in St. Louis teen shooting

New body-worn video released by the family of Emeshyon Wilkins shows a St. Louis officer fatally shooting the 17-year-old in the back after a brief chase; an independent analysis contends the pursuit violated department policy and that the officer did not identify himself or warn of a gun, contradicting FIU statements. The family has filed a lawsuit seeking damages, and the police department has not commented due to pending litigation.

Missouri teacher's murder-for-hire case unmasked years after killing

In 2016, Jocelyn Peters, a pregnant St. Louis teacher, was killed in her apartment. Investigators linked the crime to a murder-for-hire plot involving her partner Cornelius Green and associate Phillip Cutler, including a makeshift potato silencer, a money package, and digital traces from phones and location data placing Cutler at Peters’ address the night of the murder. Surveillance also showed Green’s car nearby. After years of investigation, Green pled guilty in 2024 to murder and conspiracy, while Cutler was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive life terms. Peters’ family finally saw justice and sought closure.
