Shooter found not guilty for killing man who was looking for help
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.
โโฆFor 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 โ that is outrageous,โ 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.
