Trevor Robinson

Two 19-year-olds, part of a group checking car handles on Scanlon Avenue, were shot by a resident. They were taken to a hospital, where one, Trevor Robinson, 19, died. Court records said Timothy Kemper, 39, of St. Louis, at 4:30 a.m. Thursday saw a group of men checking car handles on Scanlon Avenue when one got into his car. Kemper then grabbed his gun and shot at the group, striking two, according to a probable cause statement. The two were dropped off at a hospital, where Robinson died from his injuries. The other, Dominic Holmes, also 19, was hit in the back, chest and left arm. Holmes was later also charged with second-degree murder, burglary and two counts of armed criminal action. The second-degree murder charge says Holmes is responsible because Robinson was killed during the commission of a felony, as they burglarized a car together. St. Louis police said that when officers went to the shooting scene, in the 6500 block of Scanlan Avenue, Kemper approached officers and admitted his involvement. In addition to first-degree murder, Kemper is accused of first-degree assault, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.
