SUMMARY: Of course! Please provide the content you’d like me to summarize, and I’ll be happy to help.

An offer for cash ended in tragedy five years ago, when a man shot Clenelle Johnson to death. Johnson, a 56-year-old contractor, was reportedly asking for help.

Earlier this week, a St. Louis judge ruled the shooter was not guilty of a crime.

Johnson’s family said he had a unique way of brightening people’s lives. One day, while working as a contractor, his stepdaughter, Gabrielle Treadway, says he remembered someone who might need some cash and who could maybe help him with a job.

“…For him to remember that and want to stop and, you know, ask this person to help him and offer to pay him, and he lost his life for that – that is outrageous,” Treadway said.

The shooting happened on Oct. 28, 2019, in the 1000 block of Bates Street, approximately a half-mile north of Carondelet Park. Police arrested 47-year-old Kevin Patrick, who was later charged with involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action. The court record indicates he shot Johnson five to six times.

Johnson was rehabbing a home on Colorado Ave. when his contracting partner said they needed help carrying some wood. Johnson reportedly saw another rehab property about a block away on Bates. It was described as a skeleton at the time; unlivable, but with work being done.
