St. Louis, Missouri — On Friday, November 21st, 2025, at approximately 12:41 a.m., St. Louis Airport Police Officers were conducting foot patrols in Terminal 1 when they encountered an adult male now identified as Darius Kennedy standing near a restroom entrance. Officers instructed Kennedy to leave the airport. However, Kennedy refused to comply and pulled a knife from the sleeve of his jacket. The officers issued multiple verbal commands to Kennedy, instructing him to drop the knife. Kennedy ignored those commands and moved toward officers. One officer deployed a taser, striking Kennedy, but was ineffective. Kennedy, who was still armed with a knife, turned and ran in the direction of another police officer. That officer fired a service weapon striking Kennedy. Following the shooting, the officers administered aid to Kennedy. However, he was pronounced deceased on scene. The investigation later determined Kennedy was 31 years old and was unhoused. Detectives recovered a knife attributed to Kennedy. In total, 4 shots were fired by law enforcement. No officers were physically injured in this incident.
