Bryan Boyle

Bryan Boyle, 35, was found shot multiple times in the driver's seat of his sedan just after 2 p.m. on Saturday in the city's Vandeventer neighborhood. Authorities later alleged that Samuel Lamont Hayes Jr., 30, killed Boyle at a stoplight. Hayes had been shot by Boyle in a dispute four years earlier, court documents said. Hayes was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the April 13 attack at the intersection of Page Boulevard and North Sarah Street. Boyle was sitting in his car, waiting for the streetlight to change, when a gray Dodge Charger car pulled alongside him. Police said the driver of the Charger shot Boyle then drove away. Boyle was shot in his torso and died at a hospital. He lived in the 1400 block of Enright Avenue. Hayes was being held without bond. He lives in the 3000 block of Franklin Avenue in St. Louis. According to court documents, Hayes and Boyle had a violent run-in before. They were in a dispute in 2020 when Boyle shot Hayes. No charges were filed in that old case, according to court documents. Authorities didn't say how badly Hayes was injured.
