St. Louis news | Aug. 1 | 6 p.m. update | Sean Grayson's personnel files uncovered
SUMMARY: Former death row inmates are urging the Missouri attorney general to review the case of Marcelus Williams, who has maintained his innocence for 24 years regarding a 1998 murder. Advocates, including the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney, argue that new DNA evidence supports Williams’ claims, yet the attorney general seeks to block the case from proceeding. Last week, the Missouri Supreme Court allowed the case to continue despite the attorney general’s objections. Meanwhile, concerns arise over the conduct of sheriff’s deputy Shawn Grayson, charged with killing an unarmed woman, suggesting a pattern of inadequate training in his personnel records.

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.
