Retired SLMPD Lt. Joe Crews tells the story of a frightening murder plot that started with information reaching police about a witness who was being targeted. Officers warned the potential victim to be careful. Then, at about 5 in the morning, someone showed up at his door with a story that didn't add up. What happened next turned a planned killing into a shootout at the front door, with the would-be killer wounded and left behind by his getaway driver. Another incredible St. Louis police story from the people who were there. #SLMPD #SLPOA #JoeCrews #StLouisPolice #PoliceStories #PoliceHistory #CrimeStories #StLouisCrime #LawEnforcement #TrueCrime #RetiredCops #TheBrighterSideOfBlue #TBSOB
