St. Louis’ Crime Chime – Weekly Whirlwind of Woes: Hathaway Village: Death in the Alley

In the shadows of Hathaway, where the sirens wail,
A life was lost, another tragic tale.
Maridosa Trail, where the echoes ring,
A maintenance man, now a fallen king.
Clock struck five, the shots did too,
Dreams cut short, skies turned blue.
North County streets, where the stories bleed,
Another name added to the city’s creed.
No suspects, just whispers in the breeze,
A cold case brewing, hearts that freeze.
Detectives dig, but the silence stays,
In the urban maze, where the lost souls play.
Hathaway Village, a name etched in pain,
A life extinguished, but the questions remain.
Gunpowder lingers, the night stands still,
Another chapter written, against its will.
