A BIRTHDAY DRIVE TURNED INTO GUNFIRE — TWO BROTHERS NEVER MADE IT HOME

THE MURDERS OF JORDAN NEAL AND RICHARD NEAL III
St. Louis, Missouri — May 24, 2025

They were leaving a birthday.

A normal night. A family in the car after celebrating their mother — driving through North St. Louis near Bircher Boulevard and Union Boulevard around 9:15 p.m.

Then one moment changed everything.

The Neal family almost collided with a maroon Nissan.

It didn’t end there.

Someone in that car opened fire.

Bullets tore into their vehicle — into a car carrying children.

Jordan Neal was 9 years old.

He had already fought harder than most people ever will. Born prematurely at just 1 pound 2 ounces, living with cerebral palsy, he was still here — still pushing, still growing.

That night, he was shot.

He died at the hospital.

His brother, Richard Neal III, was 11.

He was hit in the back and chest.

He didn’t die that night.

He held on.

For five months, Richard fought — in critical care, in hospice, holding onto life after something that never should have happened to him.

On October 28, 2025, shortly after turning 11, he died from those injuries.

Two brothers.

Gone because of a moment of anger in traffic.

Their father, Richard Neal Jr., 32, was driving. He was shot in the leg and survived — left to carry what happened in that car for the rest of his life.

And the people responsible?

Still out there.

Police are searching for a maroon four-door Nissan sedan, possibly an Altima. As of late 2025, no arrests have been made.

A family went out to celebrate a birthday.

They drove home.

And someone decided that was enough to pull a trigger.

Please contact the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Division at 314-444-5371 or CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS with any information.

Jordan Neal was 9.

Richard Neal III was 11.

They should still be here.

HE TRIED TO HELP A FRIEND AND WAS MURDERED

THE UNSOLVED MURDER OF JA’ZHON “JO JO” SCRUGGS
St. Louis, Missouri — December 17, 2018

The mother of Ja’zhon Scruggs reached out to The Vivid Faces of the Vanished regarding his unsolved homicide.

Ja’zhon “Jo Jo” Scruggs was 21 years old.
A son. A friend. The type of person who showed up when someone asked for help.

That’s exactly what he was doing that night.

According to his mother, Ja’zhon agreed to buy a gun for someone else because that friend said he didn’t feel comfortable doing it himself. Ja’zhon stepped in — trying to help, trying to be loyal.

He didn’t even know the man he was meeting.

He was introduced by another “friend.”

And within moments of that meeting, it was over.
Ja’zhon was robbed.

Then shot to death.
He died in the 880 block of Clifton Avenue — in front of multiple people.

People who saw it.
People who spoke to police.
People who gave statements.

And then when it mattered — they disappeared.

Thirty-year-old Dexter Jordan was charged with Ja’zhon’s murder.
But when a key witness didn’t show up in court, the case collapsed.
The charges were dropped.

And the man accused of killing Ja’zhon — a man Ja’zhon didn’t even know — walked away free.

His mother has been left carrying that truth ever since.

“He was going to buy a gun for a friend because the friend said he wasn’t comfortable doing it. Ja’zhon being the friend that he was, offered to go get it. In the process, he got robbed — not only for money, but for his life.

The so-called friends he was with witnessed everything. They gave statements, but when it was time to testify, they went ghost.
My son didn’t even know his killer. He was introduced to him by another so-called friend who witnessed everything and still to this day hasn’t told me sorry for my loss — nothing.

I even contacted the witness’s mother when the killer was about to be released, asking if her son would testify. She told me she didn’t want her son dead — as if I wanted mine dead.

My son lost his life in front of their house. They allowed the killer to walk away. I want justice for my son. He didn’t deserve death for helping a friend who didn’t care about him.”

Ja’zhon Scruggs showed up for someone.

And no one showed up for him when it counted.
Someone knows what happened on Clifton Avenue.
Someone saw it.
And someone chose silence.

Please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-371-8477 (TIPS) with any information.
