Coroner identifies man killed in early morning shooting outside Sauget convenience store
A 46-year-old man was shot to death early Sunday at a Sauget gas station.
“The victim was shot as he was getting out of his car,” said Sauget Police Chief James Jones.
Terrell Vance of Vorhof Drive, St. Louis,was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:26 a.m., according to St. Clair County Coroner Calvin Dye Sr.
The shooting was reported at 12:25 a.m. at the Moto Mart at 3120 Mississippi Ave., Jones said.
“We requested the Major Case Squad to take over the investigation,” Jones said.
Investigators are asking the public for help to identify two “persons of interest” and their vehicles, according to a news release from Capt. Jesse Phillips of the Shiloh Police, who is deputy commander of the squad. The photos are on the Major Case Squad site. The release does not state why the men are of interest, and a spokesperson could not be reached for comment Sunday night.
The release states one of the men was driving a gray minivan with damage to the front driver’s side. It may have been a Dodge or a Chrysler. The other man was driving a Chevrolet passenger car with black rims.
Police are asking people with information about the shooting to call the Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis at 618-825-2681.
