Craig Williams

Police said Craig Williams, 23, was shot and killed in the 4000 block of Hydraulic Avenue in the Dutchtown neighborhood. Dan Charles Rathman, 63, of the 4000 block of Hydraulic Avenue in the city's Dutchtown neighborhood, where the shooting happened, is also charged with armed criminal action by the St. Louis Circuit Attorney's Office. Since the March 26 shooting, family and friends of Williams had called for Rathman to be arrested, saying video provided by a witness implicated him. Rathman claimed at the time he had to intervene because he saw Williams choking his girlfriend, Melissa Renfrow. Renfrow in earlier comments to the Post-Dispatch denied that claim.
