Man sentenced to 15 years after shooting locksmith in south St. Louis

Donnel Trotter, 51, received a 15-year prison sentence on Monday following a shooting of a locksmith in south St. Louis. Trotter had previously pleaded guilty in July to one count of being a felon in possession of ammunition. Separately, a man now faces criminal charges related to a shooting that occurred last month at a liquor store located in north St. Louis County. Both cases highlight recent violent incidents and subsequent judicial proceedings within the St. Louis region.
