HAZELWOOD, Mo. — The Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis has been activated after a man was shot and killed on an interstate in Hazelwood just after 11 a.m. Friday.
Officials were originally called to westbound I-270 for a report of a crash between a semi-truck and a car.
When they arrived, they found a man shot in a car. Police said that a semi-truck accidentally hit the car after the man was shot.
First responders tried to revive him, but they were unable to and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
He was identified as 20-year-old Marvin L. Davis.
Police said he was driving his car and had just gotten onto the interstate when he was followed by an SUV, and the people inside fired several shots, hitting Davis.
At least two weapons were involved, police said.
Police said they are looking for two people in a black SUV with dark, tinted windows connected to this incident.
The interstate reopened Friday afternoon.
Cash Bridges, Davis’ cousin, told 5 On Your Side that the deadly shooting has devastated their family.
Bridges said Davis was a good person who had two young children, including a newborn baby boy.
“He didn’t deserve any of this. My cousin was trying to put his life back together and we think he was heading home when all this happen. I’m just sick of all these killings and I’m just tired of it all,” said Bridges.
“I just hope police catch whoever did this to my cousin. I really do want them arrested. This hurts. It hurts a lot,” said Bridges.
On Saturday, police released dashcam video of the shooting in the hopes that it would help in the investigation.
The Major Case Squad is asking that anyone with information on the shooting call CrimeStoppers at 1-866-371-TIPS (8477) or the tip line at 314-264-7402 or 314-264-7403.
